See Bechek and Gitler (doi:10.1093/brain/awy294) for a scientific commentary on this article. Mutations in the endosome-associated protein CHMP2B cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Clayton et al. report a mechanism for CHMP2B-mediated neuronal dysfunction and a potential therapeutic strategy targeting the TMEM106B gene, a major risk factor for FTD. Targeting TMEM106B may be relevant to a broad range of FTDs.
