Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration With Tdp43 Inclusions, Grn-related

Description

Clinically, FTLD-TDP is a type of frontotemporal dementia (see FTD; {600274}) which shows variable phenotypic expression, but most commonly presents with social, behavioral, or language deterioration, rather than memory or motor deficits. Other variations of the phenotype have been referred to as 'dysphasic disinhibition dementia' and 'primary progressive aphasia' (PPA) (Huey et al., 2006; Mukherjee et al., 2006; Mesulam et al., 2007). Some patients may present with a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD ) or Parkinson disease (PD ), which are part of the phenotypic spectrum of this disorder (Brouwers et al., 2007). Genetic Heterogeneity of FTLD-TDPThe specific presence of TDP43 (TARDBP )-positive inclusions on neuropathologic examination defines a genetically heterogeneous group of dementias known collectively as 'FTLD-TDP.' FTLD-TDP is a neuropathologic diagnosis; only about 20% of patients with this neuropathologic diagnosis have GRN mutations (review by Van Deerlin et al., 2010).TDP43-positive inclusions also occur in ALS10 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the TARDBP gene (OMIM ); IBMPFD (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the VCP gene (OMIM ); and FTDALS (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the C9ORF72 gene (OMIM ).Mackenzie and Rademakers (2007) provided a detailed review of the molecular genetics of FTLD, with special emphasis on FTLDU. Cairns and Ghoshal (2010) reviewed the molecular pathology and genetic heterogeneity of FTLD, including FTLD-TDP, and also noted that FTLDU is now referred to as FTLD-TDP.
