Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this review is to describe disease mechanisms by which chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) repeat expansions could lead to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and to discuss these diseases in relation to other noncoding repeat expansion disorders. RECENT FINDINGS: ALS and FTD are complex neurodegenerative disorders with a considerable...
