About this trial

GENFI Lille is a French cohort that belongs to the international initiative GENFI2, a five year longitudinal biomarker cohort study of genetic FTD and its associated disorders (including MND/ALS) investigating members of families with a known mutation in GRN or MAPT or an expansion in C9orf72 (including those affected with the disorder as well as at-risk members of families).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

The participant must be 18 years old or older.

An affected member is one who has been clinically diagnosed by a neurologist as having frontotemporal dementia or a disorder in the FTD spectrum.

An at-risk member is one who is a first-degree relative of a family member affected with the disease.

Pathogenicity of a GRN or MAPT mutation is defined by those included within the GENFI list of FTD mutation. If a novel mutation is discovered that is likely to be pathogenic and has not yet been included within the FTD mutation database then the GENFI Genetics Core will decide on inclusion. Please send an email to the GENFI Trials Team at [email protected].

Disqualifiers

Participant has another medical or psychiatric illness that would interfere in completing assessments.

Contraindications to FDG-PET (allergy to FDG…)
