Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a complex disorder characterised by a broad range of clinical manifestations, differential pathological signatures, and genetic variability. Mutations in three genes-MAPT, GRN, and C9orf72--have been associated with FTD. We sought to identify novel genetic risk loci associated with the disorder.
1,377 European ancestry behavioural variant cases, 308 European ancestry Semantic dementia cases, 269 European ancestry Progressive nonfluent aphasia cases, 200 European ancestry Frontotremporal dementia with motor neuron disease cases, up to 4,308 European ancestry controls
