Cure MAPT FTD

We are on a mission to find a cure for MAPT FTD, a rare genetic form of FTD.

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is the most common form of dementia for those under 60. Under-diagnosed and currently incurable, FTD can be caused by a mutated gene, including the MAPT gene (microtubule-associated protein tau). Cure MAPT FTD raises awareness of the MAPT genetic mutation causing FTD, assists a global network of MAPT families, and advocates for trials that will lead to a cure.

MAPT FTD gradually destroys a person's personality and identity. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and often begins during a person's peak adult years, leading to significant social, emotional, and financial challenges for the entire family.

Our mission is clear: we must find a cure for MAPT FTD before it affects the next generation.
