New research out of the UK's Cambridge University has identified a gene that increases the risk of the second most common type of dementia in people under 65 fronto-temporal dementia, or FTD for short.

Getting it can result in a complete personality change.
Researchers looked at the brains of more than 500 people with FTD And compared them to more than 2500 others.
They found the gene mutation on the seventh chromosome of about half the people with FTD.

Researchers think the gene makes the disease progress faster.
They call the finding "exciting," because it helps doctors further understand how this disease develops.
The study appears in the journal "Nature."
