摘要: A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the gene C9orf72 is most common genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Pathogenesis may occur either due to loss function gene, or a toxic gain function, via production repetitive sense antisense RNA and/or dipeptide proteins. Recently, mouse knockouts have suggested that alone insufficient lead neurodegeneration, whilst overexpression DNA sufficient wide range model systems. Additionally, models now been created attempt study effects proteins isolation thus determine their relevance disease.
