FTD: At the Crossroads of Neurodegenerative Disease

As our understanding of FTD grows, we are learning that it shares clinical symptoms and underlying causes with other neurodegenerative diseases. FTD and ALS exemplify this – the diseases have common genetic causes as well as similar pathology in sporadic cases. Historically, clinical research into FTD and ALS has been siloed, but in the last few years, AFTD and a dedicated group of experts have worked to bridge the existing research and clinical-care gaps. This session explains why that collaboration is so important, gives updates on what has emerged thus far, and explains how these partnerships impact everyone facing FTD. Speakers: Michael Benatar, MD, PhD (University of Miami); Penny Dacks, PhD (AFTD); Corey McMillan, PhD (University of Pennsylvania)
