  1. Genetic screen in a large series of patients with primary progressive aphasia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2019-01-25 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Our results show that while pathogenic variants within the most common dementia genes were rarely associated with PPA, these were found almost exclusively in GRN and C9orf72, suggesting that PPA is more TDP43- than tau-related in our series.

  2. [18F]AV-1451 binding in vivo mirrors the expected distribution of TDP-43 pathology in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2017-09-14 Brain scans and imaging

    [ 18 F]AV-1451 binds in vivo regions that are likely to contain TDP-43 and not significant tau pathology.

  3. Progression of language decline and cortical atrophy in subtypes of primary progressive aphasia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Neurology 2011-05-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The results suggest that the unique features, which sharply differentiate the PPA variants at the early to middle stages, may lose their distinctiveness as the degeneration becomes more severe.

  4. Galantamine in frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders 2008-01-14 Treatments

    Galantamine is not effective in the behavioral variety of FTD, but a trend of efficacy is shown in the aphasic subgroup, which may be clinically significant.
