TDP-43 represses cryptic exon inclusion in the FTD–ALS gene UNC13A
23 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract A hallmark pathological feature of the neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the depletion of RNA-binding protein TDP-43 from the nucleus of neurons in the brain and spinal cord 1 . A major function of TDP-43 is as a repressor of cryptic exon inclusion during RNA splicing 2–4 . Single nucleotide polymorphisms in UNC13A are among the strongest...
