RNA-binding proteins and RNA metabolism: a new scenario in the pathogenesis of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Several RNA-processing genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In particular, causative mutations in the genes encoding for two DNA/RNA binding proteins, TAR DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) and fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS/TLS), were recently identified in ALS patients. These genetic findings and the presence of abnormal aggregates of these two...
