Clinical, Genetic and Neuropathological Features of Frontotemporal Dementia: An Update and Guide.

Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration encompasses a group of heterogeneous disorders with shared behavioural and cognitive symptoms, as well as gross pathological features. The genetic underpinnings and histopathological aspects are quite diverse and form the basis of molecular classification, which is not easy to correlate with clinical findings and syndromes. Scientific research has brought to light an array of knowledge, often not easy to keep up with, especially in the last few years with regard to genetics and histopathology.
