Abstract excerpt
Transactivating response element DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), which is encoded by the TARDBP gene, is an RNA-binding protein with fundamental RNA processing activities, and its loss-of-function (LOF) has a central role in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). TARDBP mutations are postulated to inactivate TDP-43 functions, leading to...
