Abstract excerpt
The chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (c9orf72) gene contains a hexanucleotide (GGGGCC) repeat expansion responsible for many cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The mutant intronic RNA forms "foci" within nuclei, but the connection between transcript expression, foci, and biochemical disease mechanisms is unclear. Knowing the absolute numbers of cellular RNAs, in any...
