Prevalence of C9ORF72 Expansion in a Large Series of Patients with Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study cohort identifying the underlying C9ORF72 expansion in patients with iNPH providing evidence for the potential comorbidity between iNPH and the FTLD-ALS spectrum. Analysis of the C9ORF72 expansion should be considered for patients with probable iNPH presenting with frontal atrophy and personality changes or other severe psychiatric symptoms.
