Abstract: Hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most prevalent genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). One pathogenic mechanism is the aberrant accumulation of dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins produced by the unconventional… read more here.

Abstract: The abnormal expansion of GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats within the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The accumulation of GGGGCC repeat-containing RNAs as RNA foci,… read more here.
