C9orf72 Protein Plasmatic Concentrations Are Similar between C9ORF72 Expansion Carriers and Noncarriers in Frontotemporal Dementia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of the study was to assess the theory of haploinsufficiency in C9ORF72 expansion carriers, the most frequent causative gene of frontotemporal dementia.
METHODS: Plasmatic concentrations of C9orf72 protein were measured in 33 patients suspected of familial frontotemporal dementia using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: No difference was observed between C9ORF72 expansion carriers (21.2% of patients) and noncarriers (78.8% of patients). C9orf72 protein determination is not a suitable biomarker for screening C9ORF72 expansion carriers.
CONCLUSION: Our results provide new evidence against the hypothesis of haploinsufficiency leading to frontotemporal dementia in C9ORF72 expansion carriers.
