Gene Therapy for FTD: What Do I Need to Know?

January 18 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST

Gene Therapy FLBI

In the last several years, new clinical trials have begun for drugs that can potentially slow or stop the progression of FTD caused by specific genes. Gene therapy and gene editing technologies that have been available for other diseases and conditions hold promise for a treatment for FTD, but, as with all new medical interventions, people have many questions. In this Perspectives in FTD Research webinar, presented jointly by AFTD and the FTD Disorders Registry, guest speaker Rebekah Ahmed, PhD, a neurologist at the University of Sydney, will explore the types of interventions being developed for genetic FTD and how to make informed decisions about participating in this type of research.
