aPairwise comparisons were evaluated with the Tukey honestly significant difference test.

bN/A: not applicable.

cC9orf72: chromosome 9 open reading frame 72.

dGRN: progranulin.

eMAPT: microtubule-associated protein tau.

fIdentified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in genes less commonly identified as genetic causes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD; ie, other than C9orf72, GRN, or MAPT). The specific genetic variant is not provided to protect participant anonymity.

gIncludes behavior-, cognitive-, and language-predominant mild cognitive impairment syndromes.

hbvFTD: behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.

isvPPA: semantic variant primary progressive aphasia.

jnfvPPA: nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia.

klvPPA: logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia.

lPSP-RS: progressive supranuclear palsy–Richardson syndrome.

mCBS: corticobasal syndrome.

nIncludes FTLD-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or a change in neurobehavior that may not meet full diagnostic criteria for any particular FTLD syndrome.
