Nuclear accumulation of mRNAs underlies G4C2 repeat-induced translational repression in a cellular model of <i>C9orf72</i> ALS
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
A common feature of non-coding repeat expansion disorders is the accumulation of RNA repeats as RNA foci in the nucleus and/or cytoplasm of affected cells. These RNA foci can be toxic because they sequester RNA-binding proteins, thus affecting various steps of post-transcriptional gene regulation. However, the precise step that is affected by C9orf72 GGGGCC (G4C2) repeat expansion, the major genetic cause of...
