Abstract excerpt
An expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat in the first intron located between the 1st and 2nd non-coding exons of C9orf72 is the most frequent cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyothropic lateral sclerosis (ALS). C9orf72 is a protein with largely unknown function and insight into the disease mechanism caused by the repeat expansion is still in an early stage but increases at an amazing pace. Three main...
