Abstract excerpt
Mutant C9orf72 has been extensively studied as a major genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, and is also known to generate Huntington's disease (HD)-like phenocopies. However, despite this strong disease association, the role of wild-type C9orf72 (wt-C9orf72) in neurodegeneration remains largely unexplored. HD is a neurodegenerative disease, and characterized by the...
