Abstract:
Abnormal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated TDP-43 defines the most common subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP). FTLD-TDP can be further subclassified based on the types and cortical/subcortical distribution of neuronal and glial inclusions. The relevance of these pathological subtypes is supported by the presence of relatively specific clinical and genetic correlations. A crucial open question in the field is the molecular basis behind the huge clinical and neuropathological phenotypic variability. In analogy to prion diseases, a popular hypothesis is that the different patterns of pathology might be a reflection of biochemical differences in the pathological TDP-43 species. In my talk, I will present the pathological features, clinical and genetic correlations of the currently recognized FTLD-TDP subtypes and discuss novel insights into biochemical differences of TDP-43 species among FTLD-TDP subtypes with focus on phosphorylation.
