A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the cause of chromosome 9p21-linked ALS-FTD

Alan E. Renton, +85 more
- 20 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The chromosome 9p21 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD) locus contains one of the last major unidentified autosomal-dominant genes underlying these common neurodegenerative diseases, and a large hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frequency of the C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia: a cross-sectional study

Elisa Majounie, +71 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: A common Mendelian genetic lesion in C9orf72 is implicated in many cases of sporadic and familial ALS and FTD, suggesting a one-off expansion occurring about 1500 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.
