Glycine-alanine dipeptide repeats spread rapidly in a repeat length- and age-dependent manner in the fly brain
Abstract Hexanucleotide repeat expansions of variable size in C9orf72 are the most prevalent genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Sense and antisense transcripts of the expansions are translated by repeat-associated non-AUG translation into five dipeptide repea...
