ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVES:

Behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms are frequent in patients with genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We aimed to describe behavioral and neuropsychiatric phenotypes in genetic FTD, quantify their temporal association, and investigate their regional association with brain atrophy.

METHODS:

We analyzed data of pathogenic variant carriers in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (c9orf72), progranulin (GRN), or microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene from the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative cohort study that enrolls both symptomatic pathogenic variant carriers and first-degree relatives of known carriers. Principal component analysis was performed to identify behavioral and neuropsychiatric clusters that were compared with respect to frequency and severity between groups. Associations between neuropsychiatric clusters and MRI-assessed atrophy were determined using voxel-based morphometry. We applied linear mixed effects and generalized linear mixed effects models to assess the longitudinal course of symptoms.

RESULTS:

A total of 522 participants were included 221 c9orf72 (138 presymptomatic), 213 GRN (157 presymptomatic), and 88 MAPT (62 presymptomatic) pathogenic variant carriers. Principal component analysis revealed 5 phenotypic clusters (67.6% of variance), labeled diverse behavioral, affective, psychotic, euphoric/hypersexual, and tactile hallucinations phenotype. In participants presenting behavioral or neuropsychiatric symptoms, affective symptoms were most frequent across groups (83.6%-88.1%), followed by diverse behavioral symptoms (68.4%-77.9%). In c9orf72 and GRN pathogenic variant carriers, psychotic symptoms (32.0% and 19.4%, respectively) were more frequent than euphoric/hypersexual symptoms (28.7% and 14.2%, respectively), which was the other way around in MAPT pathogenic variant carriers (28.6% and 23.8%). Although diverse behavioral symptoms were associated with gray and white matter frontotemporal atrophy, only a small atrophy cluster in the right thalamus was associated with psychotic symptoms. Euphoric/hypersexual symptoms were associated with atrophy in mesial temporal lobes, basal forebrain structures, and the striatum (p < 0.05). Estimated time to symptom onset, genetic group, education, and sex influenced behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms (p < 0.05). Particularly, in c9orf72 pathogenic variant carriers, psychotic symptoms may be starting decades before recognition of onset of illness.

DISCUSSION:

We identified multiple clusters of behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms in participants with genetic FTD that relate to distinct cerebral atrophy patterns. Their severity depends on time, affected gene, sex, and education. These clinical-genetic associations can guide diagnostic evaluations and the design of clinical trials for new disease-modifying and preventive treatments.
