Pattern of structural and functional brain abnormalities in asymptomatic granulin mutation carriers

Background To investigate the patterns of brain atrophy, white matter (WM) tract changes, and functional connectivity (FC) abnormalities in asymptomatic granulin ( GRN ) mutation carriers. Methods Ten cognitively normal subjects (five mutation carriers, GRN +; years to estimated disease onset: 12 ± 7; five mutation noncarriers, GRN −) underwent a clinical and imaging (structural, diffusion tensor, and resting‐state functional magnetic resonance...
