Abstract

We aimed to investigate mutation‐specific white matter (WM) integrity changes in presymptomatic and symptomatic mutation carriers of the C9orf72, MAPT, and GRN mutations by use of diffusion‐weighted imaging within the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) study.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
