Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are genetically heterogeneous disorders. Mutations in the several genes and a repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene have been reported to be associated with both diseases (FTDALS). Genes linked to both diseases may converge into a common pathogenetic pathway, explaining the overlap of clinical symptoms.
