Meanings of frontotemporal lobar degeneration in English

Methods: Electronic databases were searched using terms related to frontotemporal lobar degeneration and movement disorders.

Mutations in the gene encoding PGRN give rise to shortage of PGRN and cause familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Summary: This represents the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the occurrence of movement disorder phenomenology in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

These findings further highlight that plasma PGRN levels may not accurately predict clinical features or response to future frontotemporal lobar degeneration therapies.

Mutations in various RBPs cause several diseases of the central nervous system, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and fragile X syndrome.

Objective: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature characterizing the spectrum and prevalence of movement disorders in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

TDP-43 is a soluble, nuclear protein that undergoes cytoplasmic redistribution and aggregation in the majority of cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Pathological examinations, using a panel of tau and other antibodies, were performed on the brains from 55 consecutively acquired cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

Transactivation-responsive DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a component of pathological inclusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and several forms of sporadic and familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

The neuropathologic hallmark of frontotemporal lobar degenerations is accumulation of abnormal proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of neurons and glial cells.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that is the second most common form of dementia affecting individuals under age 65.

The aim of this review is to provide a summary of practical approaches for neuropathologic diagnostics of the rapidly evolving classifications of frontotemporal lobar degenerations.
