1) Patients with FTD referred to our referral center and diagnosed with use of
International
Consensus Criteria. The dementia symptoms have to be mild (clinical dementia
rating <=1). Patients with all variants of FTD (behavioural frontotemporal
dementia, semantic variant PPA, non-fluent variant PPA) will be included.
2) Patients with mild Alzheimer's dementia diagnosed according to International
Consensus Criteria. The dementia has to be mild (clinical dementia rating <=1).
3) Asymptomatic, first degree relatives of dementia patients due to genetic
mutations. They have 50% chance of having the mutation and developing FTD. DNA
status is determined in a related study (MEC-2009-409) in a double-blind
design. Participation is possible from 18 years and over.
Subjects with a previous stroke or other (neurological) conditions that may
affect cognitive functions (brain tumour, multiple sclerosis, use of
psycho-active medications) will be excluded from participation in this study.
