Funded Activity Summary

There is strong evidence that frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represent a spectrum of neurodegenerative disease with common origins. A combined study of FTD/ALS patient cohorts will provide greater power to identify these shared molecular origins. We aim to discover gene variants that cause, predispose, or modify onset and progression of inherited and sporadic FTD/ALS, and validate and study our discoveries in new cell and animal models of these disorders.
