Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TARDBP is one of the most commonly implicated genes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It encodes TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a protein critical to ALS pathology, whose pathogenic variants disrupt its nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation, leading to aggregation. This study aimed to investigate the role of TARDBP variants in a Taiwanese ALS cohort. METHODS: We analyzed the coding regions of...
