Abstract excerpt
Optineurin (OPTN) gene is a marker of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the role of optineurin protein (OPTN) in ALS pathology is unclear, even though it is known to regulate autophagy, apoptosis, and other survival-death cellular processes. Genetic analysis of Indian ALS patients by our group ascertained a novel mutation K489E in the OPTN gene. To identify the molecular mechanism associated with OPTN...
