*All AD clinical phenotype cases were pathologically confirmed FTLD with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) inclusions (FTLD-TDP).
Bold values represent significance (p<0.05).
†Analysis performed on subset of patients who were deceased.
‡Positive family history data from two pairs of related individuals were omitted due to redundancy.
§Family history data from seven C9N GRN mutations cases were removed from the analysis.
AD, Alzheimer's disease; ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS-MCI, ALS mild cognitive impairment; CBS, corticobasal syndrome; FTD, frontotemporal dementia; FTLD, frontotemporal lobar degeneration; naPPA, non-fluent/agrammatic variant PPA; PPA, primary progressive aphasia; svPPA, semantic variant PPA.
