Dissertation in short:
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a type of young-onset dementia characterized by extreme and progressive changes in personality, behavior, and/or language skills. FTD has an important genetic component and numerous genetic variants have been identified so far. Still, the precise pathophysiological mechanisms remain largely unresolved. Various methodologies complementing genetic research have opened up new avenues to study the involved molecular pathways. This dissertation – divided into five chapters – explores several genetic and proteomic approaches to study FTD and related neurodegenerative disorders, aiming to gradually decipher the complex underlying molecular landscape.
