Production of poly(GA) in C9ORF72 patient motor neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells
17 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
GGGGCC (G4C2) repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). A key pathological hallmark of C9ORF72-related ALS/FTD is the accumulation of dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins synthesized from both sense and antisense repeat RNAs in affected neurons.To investigate how DPR proteins are synthesized in C9ORF72...
