TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) has been considered a signature protein in frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but not in ALS associated with the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutations (ALS1). To clarify how TDP may be involved in ALS pathogenesis, clinical and pathological features in cases of sporadic ALS ([SALS] n = 18) and ALS1 (n = 6) were analyzed. In SALS patients...
