Abstract

Inflammation has been proposed as a crucial player in neurodegeneration, including Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). A few studies on sporadic FTD lead to inconclusive results, whereas large studies on genetic FTD are lacking. The aim of this study is to determine cytokine and chemokine plasma circulating levels in a large cohort of genetic FTD, collected within the GENetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI).
