Frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 3.

Tau protein in frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 3 (FTD-3).

Recent work on frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has revealed the existence of at least 3 genetically distinct groups of inherited FTD: FTDP-17, FTD and motor neuron disease linked to chromosome 9, and FTD linked to chromosome 3 (FTD-3). Tau, on chromosome 17, is the only gene where mutations have been identified and its involvement in FTD has been firmly established. The genes on chromosome 9 and ...

Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17: a consensus conference. Conference Participants.

We held an international consensus conference on frontotemporal dementia, behavioral disturbances, and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 to determine whether these are homogeneous or heterogeneous disorders, to agree on terminology, and to develop strategies for further research. The group identified 13 kindreds with sufficient evidence for linkage, finding in common to all a critical 2 cM b...

The Role of Neuropsychological Assessment in the Detection of Early Symptoms in Frontotemporal Dementia and Parkinsonism Linked to Chromosome 17 (ftdp-17)

Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 is a rare variant of frontotemporal dementia, characterized by behavioral, cognitive and motor dysfunctions. The onset of the disease is variable. However, cognitive and behavioral changes usually precede motor symptoms. Early Background: THE ROLE OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT IN THE DETECTION OF EARLY SYMPTOMS IN FRONTOTEMPORA...

A reassessment of the neuropathology of frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 3.

A large Danish family has previously been reported in which autosomal dominant frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is genetically linked to chromosome 3 (FTD-3). A mutation was recently identified in the CHMP2B gene that is probably responsible for causing disease in this family. Because of its neuropathologic findings, FTD-3 was originally categorized as a subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneratio...
