DPP6 resequencing identified significantly more rare variants—nonsense, frameshift, and missense—in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD, p value = 0.03, OR = 2.21 95% CI 1.05–4.82) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD, p = 0.006, OR = 2.59, 95% CI 1.28–5.49) patient cohorts. Here, DPP6 is linked to frontotemporal dementia.
