Clinical Characteristics of C9ORF72-Linked Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration

Clinical Characteristics of C9ORF72-Linked Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration

Background: The most common genetic cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been linked to a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene. The frequency of the C9ORF72 expansion in Finland is among the highest in the world. Methods: We ass...
