MAPT FTD is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning if one parent has a MAPT gene, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting it.

Almost everyone with the gene will develop symptoms (full penetrance), usually between ages 40-60. In rare cases, onset can be later or never happen at all

FTD Genes cause different symptoms:

MAPT → Changes personality first. Loss of social skills, repetitive behaviors.

GRN → Often causes depression/anxiety first, plus movement problems. May affect speech.

C9orf72 → Often overlaps with ALS, causing apathy and memory impairment.

Anyone with dementia, cancer or any serious disease in their family should be very concerned about the proposed 40% budget cuts at NIH. Standing with our renowned scientists by signing their petition. #NIH #dementiaresearch #cancerresearch #maptftd
