Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative tauopathy and Parkinson plus syndrome. [3] FTDP-17 is caused by mutations in the MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) gene located on the q arm of chromosome 17, and has three cardinal features: behavioral and personality changes, cognitive impairment, and motor symptoms.
Frontotemporal dementia is a part of a diverse spectrum of disorders clinically marked by dysfunction in the frontal and temporal lobes, collectively referred to as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The primary histological characteristics include profound neuronal loss, enlarged neurons, and distinctive spherical argyrophilic ...

A 2018 review found a link between celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity and cognitive impairment and that celiac disease may be associated with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. [91] A strict gluten-free diet started early may protect against dementia associated with gluten-related disorders. [90] [91]
