Aberrant deposition of stress granule-resident proteins linked to C9orf72-associated TDP-43 proteinopathy

Abstract Background A G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the noncoding region of C9orf72 is the major genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (c9FTD/ALS). Putative disease mechanisms underlying c9FTD/ALS include toxicity from sense G4C2 and antisense G2C4 repe...
