Frequency of common genetic forms of frontotemporal dementia in a Russian cohort of patients

Abstract

For the first time in the Russian cohort of FTD patients the frequency of mutations in the most common genes associated with this disease was studied. The most frequently mutating are the genes C9orf72 and GRN. Mutations in the MAPT gene are least likely to occur, which is probably due to the uneven representation of clinical phenotypes in our sample.
