Dedicated researchers & study volunteers are leading the way to increase knowledge about FTD. The hope is that people with an FTD gene mutation may one day be able to delay or prevent the emergence of the disease. #EndFTD Learn about the genetics of FTD: https://t.co/0FTpqRPvFp

3/ YKL-40, TNF-α, and IL-6 , on the other hand, had limited utility as biomarkers of disease progression in inherited #FTD, as reported by #Ljubenkov and team from @allftd, who measured plasma from 239 familial FTD mutation carriers.
