Researchers will study blood samples to learn more about frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and similar conditions. What they learn could help develop better treatments in the future.

Who can take part?

People can take part who have a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of:

  • Fronto Temporal Dementia (FTD)
  • Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)
  • Corticobasal syndrome (CBS)
  • Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
     

What does taking part involve?

You will have an initial visit, either at your own home or in our clinic. (Travel expenses to the clinic will be covered.)

At this visit, you will complete various questionnaires about your quality of life, mental health, and memory test. We will also take a blood sample.

You will repeat this visit each year, for up to three years.
