C9orf72 repeat expansions are a common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). To date, no large-scale study of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) has been undertaken in order to assess the role of C9orf72 repeat...

The similarities between dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and both Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are many and range from clinical presentation, to neuropathological characteristics, to more recently identified, genetic determin...
