  • Fisher’s exact/χ2 tests (if expected cell count was <5), independent sample t-tests or one-way analysis of variance were used to discern group differences for relevant variables.

  • *At-risk participants from 248 families. Participants completed the GENFI symptom list.

  • †At-risk participants from 228 families. Participants completed the CBI-R Questionnaire.

  • ‡Fisher’s exact test was used.

  • §Bonferroni correction applied.

  • ¶Years from expected onset was calculated by subtracting the participant’s age at the time of participation from the mean age of symptom onset within the family.

  • AD, Alzheimer's Disease;; ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; bvFTD, behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia; CBI-R, Cambridge Behavioural Inventory Questionnaire-Revised; CBS, corticobasal syndrome; C9orf72, chromosome 9 open reading frame 72; GENFI, Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia Initiative; GRN, progranulin; MAPT, microtubule-associated protein tau; NOS, not otherwise specified; PPA, primary progressive aphasia; PSP, progressive supranuclear palsy.
