Some people with MND also develop frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Dr Alex Thompson @MNDOxford is looking at toxic protein clumps found in MND and FTD to understand how these spread through brain cells and contribute to disease progression.

Let's break down some misconceptions about MND. ➡️

[MND Research @mndresearch]

Did you know?

Changes in a gene called C9orf72 are linked to the development of MND and a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Around 15% of people with C9orf72-MND experience FTD.
