Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Disease progression in C9orf72 mutation carriers [PDF]
To assess changes in 3 clinical measures, the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R), letter fluency, and Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI), over time in C9orf72 mutation carriers (C9+) with varied clinical phenotypes.Thirty-four unrelated participants with mutations in C9orf72 were enrolled in a prospective natural history study. Participants

Tremor in motor neuron disease may be central rather than peripheral in origin [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Motor neuron disease (MND) refers to a spectrum of degenerative diseases affecting motor neurons. Recent clinical and post-mortem observations have revealed considerable variability in the phenotype.

Abstract We aimed at validating the Mini Social Cognition and Emotional Assessment (Mini‐SEA) in a German cohort of mildly impaired behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. The Mini‐SEA comprises the Facial Emotion Recognition Test (FERT) and the Faux Pas Test (FPT) measuring Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in ...

IntroductionA hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) intronic to chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) is recognized as the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and ALS-FTD.

Rare mutations in SQSTM1 modify susceptibility to frontotemporal lobar degeneration [PDF]
Mutations in the gene coding for Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) have been genetically associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Paget disease of bone. In the present study, we analyzed the SQSTM1 coding sequence for mutations in an extended cohort

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to describe outcomes of rapid exome (rES) and rapid genome sequencing (rGS) in an inpatient setting. This is a retrospective cohort of inpatients with rES or rGS during their hospitalization between April 2016 and November 2023.

Gyrification abnormalities in presymptomatic c9orf72 expansion carriers [PDF]
ObjectiveTo investigate in-vivo cortical gyrification patterns measured by the local gyrification index (lGI) in presymptomatic c9orf72 expansion carriers compared with healthy controls, and investigate relationships between lGI and cortical thickness, an established morphometric measure of neurodegeneration.MethodsWe assessed cortical gyrification and

Can ALS-associated C9orf72 repeat expansions be diagnosed on a blood DNA test alone? [PDF]
Gene mutations that preferentially affect the CNS have been implicated in a number of neurological disorders. This leads to the possibility that a disease-causing mutation present only in CNS tissues could be missed if it were tested in a blood DNA ...
