Targeting RNA Foci in iPSC-Derived Motor Neurons from ALS Patients with a <i>C9ORF72</i> Repeat Expansion
23 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative condition characterized by loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Expansions of a hexanucleotide repeat (GGGGCC) in the noncoding region of the C9ORF72 gene are the most common cause of the familial form of ALS (C9-ALS), as well as frontotemporal lobar degeneration and other neurological diseases. How the repeat expansion causes...
