Grammatical complexity and productivity in written text in presymptomatic frontotemporal dementia: A repeated measures study
We found limited evidence for differences in the written language between mutation carriers and non-carrier controls. As previous studies suggest, cognitive changes in genetic frontotemporal dementia manifest nearer to symptom onset and our participants were on average 11.8 years from expected onset, the anticipated changes might be undetectable at this stage.
