GW/P bodies contain two TNRC6A protein isoforms (GW182 and TNGW1) that function as translational repressors of mRNA through Ago2-mediated RNA silencing. Autoantibodies to GW/P body components GW182, Ge-1 and Ago2 have previously been correlated with clinical autoimmune diseases including neurolog...
