Inducible expression of human <i>C9ORF72</i> 36x G <sub>4</sub> C <sub>2</sub> hexanucleotide repeats is sufficient to cause RAN translation and rapid muscular atrophy in mice
2020-09-16
Abstract excerpt
The hexanucleotide G 4 C 2 repeat expansion in the first intron of the C9ORF72 gene explains the majority of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. Numerous studies have indicated the toxicity of dipeptide repeats (DPRs) which are produced via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation from the repeat expansion and accumulate in the brain of C9FTD/ALS patients. Mouse model...
