FTD has a stronger genetic risk than other dementias. While not all FTD is inherited, understanding whether the FTD in your family is genetic is crucial: it can confirm the diagnosis, inform care choices, and help you anticipate future care needs, plan financially, and allow relatives to make informed decisions around family and future planning. It may open opportunities to participate in research, helping to move the science closer to approved treatments. But understanding your options to access genetics is not always easy. This AFTD Educational Webinar explores the different paths to find a genetic counselor and review the advantages and caveats of each approach. A member of the AFTD community shares her family’s experience with genetic counseling and testing.
