Abstract excerpt
The neuropathological hallmark of the C9orf72 intronic hexanucleotide expansion in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the presence of small ubiquitin/p62-positive and transactive response DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43)-negative cytoplasmic inclusions in several brain areas. The identification of this histopathological signature is highly predictive of an...
