TABLE 3–2.

Primary Proteinopathies Associated With Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Spectrum Disordersa

Tauopathies (approximately 40–45% of cases)
♦ Pick disease
♦ Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
♦ Corticobasal degeneration (CBD)
♦ Argyrophilic grain disease (AGD)
♦ Globular glial tauopathy (GGT)
♦ Age-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG)
♦ Primary age-related tauopathy (PART)
Transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) proteinopathies (approximately 40–45% of cases)
♦ Subtypes (TDP types A-D +/− U) are based on the relative abundance of different types of TDP+ neuronal inclusions and their laminar distribution within the cerebral neocortex
♦ Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE)
FET protein familyb and other disorders (approximately 5–10% of cases)
♦ Basophilic inclusion body disease (BIBD)
♦ Neuronal intermediate filament inclusion body disease (NIFID)
♦ Atypical frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions (aFTLD-U)
♦ Frontotemporal lobar degeneration with inclusions labeled with markers of the ubiquitin/proteasome system
♦ Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS)
♦ Others
