Relative brain distribution of poly‐GA immunopositive neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions (dipeptide repeat proteins, DPR), and TDP‐43 immunopositive neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions and/or neurites in the three Newcastle cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) bearing hexanucleotide expansions in C9ORF72 gene, and range of scores for DPR and TDP‐43 pathology in the 13 Manchester cases with which these are compared. This evidence concerns the gene C9orf72 and frontotemporal dementia.
