High content live profiling reveals concomitant gain and loss of function pathomechanisms in C9ORF72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
2020-04-17
Abstract excerpt
Intronic hexanucleotide repeat expansions (HREs) in C9ORF72 are the most frequent genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating, incurable motoneuron (MN) disease. The mechanism by which HREs trigger pathogenesis remains elusive. The discovery of repeat-associated non-ATG (RAN) translation of dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) from HREs along with reduced exonic C9ORF72 expression suggests gain...
