Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder can have a familial component, with some cases showing inherited mutations in genes such as MAPT, GRN, and C9orf72.

Answer: C
 Frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder is marked by the presence of abnormal protein aggregates, such as tau in neurofibrillary tangles and TDP-43 inclusions.

Answer: None of the other options
 There is no evidence to suggest that frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder is more common in women than men, and its diagnosis is not confirmed by an fMRI alone. While imaging studies may provide helpful information in the diagnosis and management of the condition, they are not definitive diagnostic tests.
