Phan et al. assess the presence of human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) in the serum and brain samples of individuals with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) with TDP-43 pathology, as seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The authors show HERV-K is associated with manifestations of bvFTD with TDP-43 pathology.
