NCT ID NCT01925196
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study followed 50 adults with a specific gene mutation (C9ORF72) that can cause either ALS or frontotemporal dementia. Researchers tracked changes in strength, thinking, memory, and behavior over three years using brain scans, spinal fluid tests, and other exams. The goal was to understand how the same gene leads to different diseases and to find biomarkers that could help detect or measure disease progression in the future.
