  • A new study from UC San Francisco may offer the first clear biological markers for frontotemporal dementia, a condition that often affects people in midlife and is difficult to diagnose.
  • By analysing spinal fluid from patients with inherited frontotemporal dementia, researchers uncovered protein changes linked to RNA regulation and brain connectivity; early indicators that could lead to earlier, more accurate diagnosis.
  • These findings could open the door to precision treatments and expanded access to clinical trials for those living with the disease.

Dementia typically affects older adults, so when it appears in middle age it can be difficult to identify.
