Data are presented as median and interquartile range, unless otherwise indicated. Abbreviations: APOE, apolipoprotein epsilon; CBD, corticobasal degeneration; FDG, [18F]- fluorodeoxyglucose; PET, positron emission tomography; PiB, Pittsburgh Compound B; PSP, progressive supranuclear palsy; SMA, supplementary motor area; SUVR, standard uptake value ratio.
One additional patient did not have PSP or CBD but instead had FTLD-TDP
