Isoform‐specific antibodies reveal distinct subcellular localizations of <scp>C</scp>9orf72 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
14 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A noncoding hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9orf72 is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). It has been reported that the repeat expansion causes a downregulation of C9orf72 transcripts, suggesting that haploinsufficiency may contribute to disease pathogenesis. Two protein isoforms are generated from three alternatively spliced...
