Abstract excerpt
The dynactin p150glued subunit, encoded by the gene DCTN1 is part of the dynein-dynactin motor protein complex responsible for retrograde axonal transport. This subunit is a candidate modifier for neurodegenerative diseases, in particular motoneuron and extrapyramidal diseases. Based on an extensive screening effort of all 32 exons in more than 2,500 ALS/MND patients, patients suffering from Parkinsonian...
