Description : Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by adult onset of one or both of these features in an affected individual, with significant intrafamilial variation. The disorder is genetically and pathologically heterogeneous (summary by Vance et al., 2006). Patients with C9ORF72 repeat expansions tend to show a lower age of onset, shorter survival, bulbar symptom onset, increased incidence of neurodegenerative disease in relatives, and a propensity toward psychosis or hallucinations compared to patients with other forms of ALS and/or FTD (summary by Harms et al., 2013). Patients with C9ORF72 repeat expansions also show psychiatric disturbances that may predate the onset of dementia (Meisler et al., 2013; Gomez-Tortosa et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description of frontotemporal dementia, also known as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), see 600274. For a general discussion of motor neuron disease (MND), see amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-1 (ALS1; 105400).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by an expanded hexanucleotide repeat (GGGGCC)n in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 gene (C9ORF72, 614260.0001);

Prefixed ID : #105550;
