项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY: Frontotemporal Lobar degeneration (FTLD) manifests clinically with progressive behavioral and/or language deficits. Subtypes of FTLD are classified neuropathologically by the protein composition of cellular inclusion bodies. The most common neuropathological correlates of FTLD have TAR DNA binding protein (TDP-43) inclusions (FTLD-TDP) or tau inclusions (FTLD-tau). FTLD is frequently familial and can occur as an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder. Genes with mutations causing FTLD include /W/APT (encodes tau) and GRN (encodes progranulin) among others, each of which is associated with a specific FTLD pathological subtype: GRN mutations with FTLD-TDP and MAPT mutations with FTLD-tau. Studying the genetics of FTLD can help elucidate its etiology and pathophysiology and provide targets for therapy as well as identify risk factors that modify disease risk or phenotype. To enable genetic studies of FTLD the Genetics Core, as an integral part of this Program Project Grant, will collect and bank DNA from Clinical Core B subjects with FTLD and autopsy brains characterized in the Neuropathology Core as well as control samples. For participating individuals, a study coordinator trained as a certified genetic counselor will provide genetic education to foster a better understanding of the research and to obtain informed consent. Banked DNA will be used for genetic analysis by the Core itself, as well as by Project 1, and other collaborators within and outside of UPenn. Genetic analysis of FTLD associated genes will be performed by the Core and in collaboration with Project 1. Genotype data will enable clinical, pathologic and genetic correlations with data from Projects 1 and 3 and the Clinical and Neuropathology Cores with statistical analysis by the Biostatistics and Data Management Core. Projects 2 and 4 will use genotype data for case selection for analysis. Finally, the Genetics Core will coordinate with the Hosp. of the Univ. of Penn Molecular Pathology Lab to make CLIA-certified genetic testing available. To this end, the Core will identify new genetic tests which are ready for translation into clinical tests and assist with validation by providing primer sequences, protocols, and samples

项目摘要：额颞叶变性（FTLD）在临床上表现出渐进的行为和/或语言缺陷。 FTLD的亚型通过细胞包容体的蛋白质组成对神经病理学进行分类。 FTLD最常见的神经病理学相关性具有TAR DNA结合蛋白（TDP-43）包含物（FTLD-TDP）或TAU包含物（FTLD-TAU）。 FTLD经常是家族性的，可以作为常染色体遗传性疾病发生。引起FTLD的突变的基因包括 /w /apt（编码tau）和GRN（编码progranulin）等，每一种都与特定的FTLD病理亚型：具有FTLD-TDP的GRN突变和与FTLD-TAU MAPT突变有关。研究FTLD的遗传学可以帮助阐明其病因和病理生理学，并提供治疗靶标，并确定改变疾病风险或表型的危险因素。为了使FTLD的遗传研究作为该计划项目赠款不可或缺的一部分，将从神经病理学核心以及对照样本中的临床核心B受试者收集和库存DNA。对于参与的个人，接受认证的遗传咨询师培训的研究协调员将提供遗传教育，以增进对研究的了解并获得知情同意。核心本身以及项目1以及UPENN内部和外部的其他合作者将使用库存的DNA进行遗传分析。 FTLD相关基因的遗传分析将由核心进行并与项目1合作进行。基因型数据将与项目1和3的数据以及生物统计学和数据管理核心的临床和神经病理学核心与临床和神经病理学核心进行临床，病理和遗传相关。项目2和4将使用基因型数据进行案例选择进行分析。最后，遗传学核心将与医院协调。大学。 Penn分子病理学实验室可提供CLIA认证的基因检测。为此，核心将确定新的基因检测，这些测试准备转化为临床测试，并通过提供引物序列，方案和样本来帮助验证
