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

A Multicenter Study of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Dementia With Lewy Bodies

Mike A. Nalls, +68 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found a significant association between GBA1 mutation carrier status and DLB, with an odds ratio of 8.28 (95% CI, 4.78-14.88).
Journal ArticleDOI

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration genome wide association study replication confirms a risk locus shared with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TL;DR: Analysis of the chromosome 9 locus revealed strong association in the London FTLD cohort and the Manchester FTLD+ALS cases, and confirmed that FTLD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) share a common genetic risk factor on chromosome 9p.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the hexanucleotide repeat in C9ORF72 in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: This work genotyped the hexanucleotide repeat region of C9ORF72 in a large cohort of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and concluded that the Hexan nucleotide repeat expansion is specific to the FTLD/ALS disease spectrum.
