Therapeutic reduction of GGGGCC repeat RNA levels by hnRNPA3 suppresses neurodegeneration in Drosophila models of C9orf72 -linked ALS/FTD
20 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
The abnormal expansion of GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats within the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The accumulation of GGGGCC repeat-containing RNAs as RNA foci, and the deposition of dipeptide repeat proteins (DPR) produced from these repeat RNAs by unconventional translation are major pathological hallmarks of C9orf72-linked...
