Summary

Frontotemporal Dementia with Parkinsonism linked to Chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the MAPT gene (Microtubule-Associated Protein Tau). Over 50 pathogenic mutations have been identified, making FTDP-17 one of the most genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative d
