Abstract | Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common early-onset dementia. Up to half of the cases are familial, and several mutations have been identified as pathogenic. Repeat expansion mutations in C9orf72 are the most common genetic cause of FTD and are particularly frequent in Sweden and Finland. We aimed to determine the mutation frequency in patients with FTD ascertained at a memory clinic in Sweden and assess the inheritance pattern in the families. We screened 132 patients with FTD for mutations in C9orf72, GRN, and MAPT, and the frequency was 34.1%. Two novel variations, not previously published, were found; a pathogenic GRN mutation and a MAPT variation in intron 9 that we report as VUS. The likelihood of finding a mutation was highest in patients with a clear family history of dementia or motor neuron disease (76%), but mutations were also found in apparent sporadic cases. This confirms that FTD cohorts from Sweden have a relatively higher risk of an underlying mutation in all risk categories compared with other reported cohorts. |
