We aimed to investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid levels (CSF) of amyloid precursor protein (APP)‐derived peptides related to the amyloidogenic pathway, cortical thickness, neuropsychological performance, and cortical gene expression profiles in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD)‐related syndromes, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and healthy controls. Here, APP is linked to frontotemporal dementia.
