    Abstract

    The aetiology of late-onset neurodegenerative diseases is largely unknown. Here we investigated whether de novo somatic variants for semantic dementia can be detected, thereby arguing for a more general role of somatic variants in neurodegenerative disease. Semantic dementia is characterized by a non-familial occurrence, early onset (
