TDP-43 pathology in familial frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease without Progranulin mutations.
Frontotemporal dementia is accompanied by motor neuron disease (FTD + MND) in approximately 10% of cases. There is accumulating evidence for a clinicopathological overlap between FTD and MND based on observations of familial aggregation and neuropathological findings of ubiquitin-positive neuronal cytoplasmatic inclusions (NCI) in lower motor neurons, hippocampus and neocortex in both condition...
متن کاملIncreased prevalence of autoimmune disease within C9 and FTD/MND cohorts
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of autoimmune disease in symptomatic C9ORF72 (C9) mutation carriers and frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease (FTD/MND) cohorts. METHODS In this case-control study, we reviewed the clinical histories of 66 patients with FTD/MND and 57 symptomatic C9 carriers (24 overlapping cases), a total of 99 charts, for history of autoimmune disease. The p...
متن کاملPathological tau deposition in Motor Neurone Disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration associated with TDP-43 proteinopathy
It has been suggested that patients with motor neurone disease (MND) and those with MND combined with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) (ie FTD + MND) or with FTD alone might exist on a continuum based on commonalities of neuropathology and/or genetic risk. Moreover, it has been reported that both a neuronal and a glial cell tauopathy can accompany the TDP-43 proteinopathy in ...
متن کاملPredicting survival in frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether clinical and demographic features are associated with prognosis in patients with frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease (FTD-MND). METHODS This was a case series of FTD-MND categorized according to behavioral- or language-dominant symptoms at presentation and throughout the disease course. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and survival data were analyzed...
متن کاملFrontotemporal dementia and motor neurone disease: overlapping clinic-pathological disorders.
Advances in genetics and pathology have supported the idea of a continuum between frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and motor neurone disease (MND), which is strengthened by the discovery of the trans-activating responsive (Tar) sequence DNA binding protein (TDP-43) as a key component in the underlying pathology of FTD, FTD-MND and sporadic and familial MND patients. MND is a multisystem disorder a...
