FTD Biomarkers Initiative

Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration

Diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) currently relies on physical examination, cognitive assessments, laboratory tests, brain imaging, and patient history. Given the complex and overlapping symptomology of FTLD disorders (which includes bvFTD, ALS-FTD, PSP, CBS, and some PPA disorders), accurate diagnosis is difficult, time-intensive, and error-prone; as a result, accurate assessments often rely on the expertise of leading FTLD clinicians based at specialized centers.

Biomarkers are urgently needed as objective tools to improve access to diagnosis by screening individuals in need of evaluation by a neurologist, enabling accurate and timely diagnosis, and identifying pathological types to inform clinical care and prognosis.

With support from the Holloway Family Fund, AFTD has partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to provide funding to researchers with promising, relevant research poised to advance our understanding of FTLD biomarkers. By supporting researchers, we and our partners hope to pave the path to more accurate and timely diagnosis for families affected by FTD.
