We have a comment on this study, which would facilitate interpretation of the findings and a potential and important limitation. It is well known that M694V mutation is associated with a younger onset and more severe disease phenotype [2]. It can be clearly seen that the group with late-onset disease has a significantly lower rate of M694V mutations.
