Abstract: Introduction: Little is known regarding the relationship between methylation levels and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Objective: The objective of the present study was to assess the relationship between blood MAPT methylation levels and clinical expression in FTD. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted including 54 Italian patients with different phenotypes: 22 behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD), 10 semantic variant (svPPA), 22 non-fluent variant (nfv) Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). Results: Results reveal a negative correlation between MAPT methylation levels determined by pyrosequencing analysis and the severity of disease in the FTD group and highlight an association between nfvPPA variant and intermediate-high levels of MAPT methylation, which persists also considering disease severity. Conclusions: Our findings allow us to speculate that the degree of MAPT methylation in the blood, a test minimally invasive, cost-effective, and easily repeatable could be useful to differentiate FTD variants at onset and to confirm disease stage in symptomatic FTD patients. Further studies, also with a longitudinal design, are warranted to confirm our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
