Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a heterogeneous clinical disorder characterized by progressive abnormalities in behavior, executive functions, personality, language and/or motricity. A neuropathological subtype of FTD, frontotem-poral lobar degeneration (FTLD)-FET, is characterized by protein aggregates consisting of the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS). The cause of FTLD-FET is not well understood and there is a lack of genetic evidence to aid in the investigation of mechanisms of the disease. The goal of this study was to identify genetic variants contributing to FTLD-FET and to investigate their efects on FUS pathology. We performed whole-exome sequencing on a 50-yearold FTLD patient with ubiquitin and FUS-positive neuronal inclusions and unafected parents, and identifed a de novo postzygotic nonsense variant in the NCDN gene encoding Neurochondrin (NCDN), NM_014284. 3:c. 1206G. |
