Frontotemporal Dementia

Information about Frontotemporal Dementia: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Frontotemporal Dementia

Most recent studies have shown that Frontotemporal Dementia shares some biological mechanisms with alzheimers-disease, amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis, aphasia, atrophy, cognition-disorders, dementia, frontotemporal-lobar-degeneration, impaired-cognition, lewy-body-disease, nerve-degeneration, neurodegenerative-disorders, parkinson-disease, pick-disease-of-the-brain, primary-lateral-sclerosis, progressive-supranuclear-palsy, sclerosis, secondary-parkinson-disease, semantic-dementia, supranuclear-palsy, tauopathies.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Frontotemporal Dementia, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Autophagy, Cell Cycle, Cell Death, Cognition, Eating Behavior, Hyperphosphorylation, Localization, Long-term Memory, Mrna Splicing, Neuron Death, Neuroprotection, Pathogenesis, Proteolysis, Reflex, Secretion, Segmentation, Social Behavior, Translation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Frontotemporal Dementia, such as APOE, APP, BPIFA2, C9ORF72, CSF2, FUS, GRN, IGFALS, LAMC2, MAPT, MSMB, PSEN1, PSPN, REG1A, SNCA, SOD1, STXBP3, TARDBP, VCP.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
