- [Assessing UCHL5 Variations Within The AT(N) Framework](https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/resources/assessing-uchl5-variations-within-the-atn-framework/) - BACKGROUND: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a proteinopathy characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition and hyperphosphorylated tau aggregation, leading to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Dysregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system has been implicated in these processes. Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L5 (UCHL5), a deubiquitinase that regulates proteasomal activity, plays a key role in the degradation of damaged proteins.

Emerging evidence from genetic FTD cohort studies suggest subtle psychiatric and cognitive features may emerge in the presymptomatic stage, accompanied by structural and functional brain changes. Such findings raise the possibility of early, potentially neurodevelopmental alterations in C9orf72-associated FTD. However,

Variation in ApoE isoforms is known to have diverse pleiotropic effects on circulating lipids and other metabolites, but effects on the circulating proteome across the life course are not well characterised. We therefore aimed to

In 2021, 57 million people were living with dementia worldwide, with almost 10 million new cases recorded every year. In 2019, dementia's global economic burden reached US$1.3 trillion. Given this, addressing the modifiable risk factors remains one of the critical aspects of dementia

The brief informant-rated Dimensional Apathy Scale (b-DAS) assesses apathy severity across emotional, executive and initiation domains. However, its application in FTD remains limited, and the trajectories of apathy across disease stages and genetic subtypes remain poorly

Despite distinct clinical features, these conditions share overlapping genetic risk factors, including apolipoprotein-E (ApoE) and alpha-synuclein (aSyn). ApoE has protective (E2, Christchurch) and risk-related (E3, E4) isoforms, while aSyn mutations (A53T, E46K) promote
