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

Association of missense and 5′-splice-site mutations in tau with the inherited dementia FTDP-17

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced tau in FTDP-17 families and identified three missense mutations (G272V, P301L and R406W) and three mutations in the 5' splice site of exon in
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

C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins.

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo models to dissect repeat RNA and dipeptide repeat protein toxicity are developed, consistent with a dual toxicity mechanism, whereby both arginine-rich proteins and repeat RNA contribute to C9orf72-mediated neurodegeneration.
