Abstract: The most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an expanded G4C2 repeat [(G4C2)exp] in C9ORF72. ALS/FTD-associated toxicity has been traced to the RNA transcribed from the repeat expansion… read more here.

Abstract: The G-quadruplex (G4) forming C9orf72 GGGGCC (G4C2) expanded hexanucleotide repeat (EHR) is the predominant genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Developing selective G4-binding ligands is challenging due to the conformational… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The hexanucleotide repeat expansion, GGGGCC (G4C2), within the first intron of the C9orf72 gene is known to be the most common genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22094532
Abstract: Guanine-rich DNA sequences self-assemble into highly stable fourfold structures known as DNA-quadruplexes (or G-quadruplexes). G-quadruplexes have furthermore the tendency to associate into one-dimensional supramolecular aggregates termed G-wires. We studied the formation of G-wires in solutions… read more here.
