This grant from the National Institute on Aging aims to support the genetic discovery, replication, and validation of disease-causing mutations and risk variants associated with Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). The FTD Sequencing Consortium will focus on whole genome sequencing, replication, and validating studies on FTD case/control and family-based cohorts to better understand the pathophysiology and clinical heterogeneity of FTD syndromes. Applications for this grant should be geared towards uncovering genetic modifiers that play a role in FTD. Closing date for applications is February 10, 2017.

Agency Name: | National Institutes of Health |
Description: | The purpose of this FOA is to support the genetic discovery, replication and validation of disease causing mutations, risk variants and genetic modifiers which contribute to the pathophysiology, proteinopathies and clinical heterogeneity representative of the neurological syndromes that are classified under the broad spectrum of Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). The FTD Sequencing Consortium FOA will support whole genome sequencing, replication and functional variant validation studies of FTD case/control and family-based cohorts identified through clinical diagnosis or autopsy confirmation. |
