Table after [7], arranged by clinical diagnosis: bvFTD behavioral variant of FTD, svPPA semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia, AD Alzheimer disease, PMI post mortem interval. All presented cases were FUS-negative, TDP43-negative. D/N denatured/native ratio in CDI assay, ± standard deviation
Age at onset was 51.3 ± 4, 60.7 ± 11.9, 50.0 ± 7 years for bvFTD, AD and svPPA, respectively. Age at death was 57.3 ± 3.8, 66.7 ± 11.9 and 56.0 ± 7 years, respectively. None of the differences in ages between the different initial diagnoses were significant
