Aberrant deposition of stress granule-resident proteins linked to C9orf72-associated TDP-43 proteinopathy
15 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
A G 4 C 2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the noncoding region of C9orf72 is the major genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (c9FTD/ALS). Putative disease mechanisms underlying c9FTD/ALS include toxicity from sense G 4 C 2 and antisense G 2 C 4 repeat-containing RNA, and from dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins unconventionally translated from these RNA products....
