Radiogenomics of <i>C9orf72</i> expansion carriers reveals global transposable element de-repression and enables prediction of thalamic atrophy and clinical impairment
2022-07-31
Abstract excerpt
Hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) within C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Thalamic atrophy occurs in both sporadic and familial FTD but is thought to distinctly affect HRE carriers. Separately, emerging evidence suggests widespread de-repression of transposable elements (TEs) in the brain in several neurodegenerative diseases, including C9orf72 HRE-mediated FTD (C9-F...
