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.

Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: a genome-wide association study

TL;DR: It is shown that, at best, common genetic variation can only have a modest role in predisposition to the partial epilepsies when considered across syndromes in Europeans, and research efforts should also be directed towards identifying the multiple rare variants likely to account for at least part of the heritability of the partial seizures.
