Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are late-onset neurodegenerative disorders that are associated with mutations in the TARDBP gene. The product of this gene, TDP-43, has also been identified as the main component of the intracellular inclusions typical of most cases of ALS and FTD. Recent evidence suggests that TDP-43 is essential for proper development and involved in several...
