2 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract A GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in intron 1 ofchromosome 9 open reading frame 72(C9ORF72) gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. Repeat-associated non-ATG translation of dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) contributes to the neuropathological features of c9FTD/ALS. Among the five DPRs, arginine-rich poly-PR are reported to be the...
