Large genetic changes that contribute to dementia risk identified

Scientists have identified new genetic risk factors for two types of non-Alzheimer’s dementia. These findings detail how researchers identified large-scale DNA changes, known as structural variants, by analyzing thousands of DNA samples. The team discovered several structural variants that could be risk factors Lewy body dementia (LBD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
