This project aims to identify genes that are mutated in families affected with dementia and motor neuron disease, and to determine whether the same genes are responsible for disease in large collections of patients with similar disorders. Identifying these genes will reveal what biological processes can lead to brain and nerve cell degeneration, providing knowledge important for development of new treatments for the many people worldwide affected with these disorders.

该项目旨在确定在患有痴呆症和运动神经元疾病的家庭中发生突变的基因，并确定在大量患有类似疾病的患者中，相同的基因是否与疾病有关。识别这些基因将揭示哪些生物过程可能导致大脑和神经细胞退化，为世界各地受这些疾病影响的许多人开发新的治疗方法提供重要的知识。
