Genetics of Frontotemporal Dementia in the Serbian Population: Findings from a Hospital-Based Cohort
This first genetic study of FTD in southeastern Serbia revealed a lower mutation frequency than in Northern and Western Europe, but similar to cohorts from Southeastern Europe. The detection of <i>MAPT</i> c.1920+16C>T in two unrelated families extends the geographic range of this splice-site variant and underscores the importance of systematic genetic testing and larger collaborative studies in the Balkans.
