Abstract Synaptic loss is an early and clinically relevant feature of many neurodegenerative diseases. Here we assess three adults at risk of frontotemporal dementia from C9orf72 mutation, using [11C]UCB‐J PET to quantify synaptic density in comparison with 19 healthy controls and one symptomatic patient with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia. The three pre‐symptomatic C9orf72 carriers showed reduced synaptic density in the thalamus compared to controls, and there was an additional extensive synaptic loss in frontotemporal regions of the symptomatic patient. [11C]UCB‐J PET may facilitate early, pre‐symptomatic assessment, monitoring of disease progression and evaluation of new preventive treatment strategies for frontotemporal dementia. |
