Chromosome 9p-linked families with frontotemporal dementia associated with motor neuron disease

Abstract

This study increases the number of 9p-linked families now reported and shows that this locus may have a major effect on frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and motor neuron disease (MND). Considering our results, the causative gene might be implicated in at least 60% of the families with FTD-MND disorder.
