Abstract excerpt
Hexanucleotide expansion mutations in C9ORF72 are a frequent cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We previously reported that long arginine-rich dipeptide repeats (DPRs), mimicking abnormal proteins expressed from the hexanucleotide expansion, caused translation stalling when expressed in cell culture models. Whether this stalling provides a mechanism of pathogenicity remains to be determined. Here, we...
