The previous publication on which the present neuroimaging study is based referred to “patterns” rather than “stages” of TDP-43 pathology in bvFTLD, i.e., it was not intended to serve as a neuropathological staging system for all FTLD-TDP and it excluded cases with PiD (Brettschneider et al., 2014). Here, TARDBP is linked to pelvic inflammatory disease.
