<i>C9orf72</i> repeat expansion-carrying iPSC-microglia from FTD patients show increased phagocytic activity concomitantly with decreased number of autophagosomal-lysosomal vesicles

Abstract excerpt
C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) is a major genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. The role of microglia in these C9orf72 HRE-associated diseases is understudied. To elucidate effects of C9orf72 HRE on microglia, we have characterized human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (iMG) from behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients carry...
