Understanding the genetic forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) - The FLAG study

About this research

Professor Peter Nestor is running a research project that aims to better understand the genetic forms of frontotemporal dementia (such as those due to the C9ORF72, progranulin or tau genes) by studying the relatives of affected individuals.

Who can participate

You need to be from a family that has been affected by a genetic form of frontotemporal dementia.

What's involved

You will be asked to complete a series of tests by attending an appointment at the Queensland Brain Institute at UQ (St Lucia campus).

Benefits of participating

Participants will help improve the early detection and accurate diagnosis for frontotemporal dementia.
