Age-related penetrance of the C9orf72 repeat expansion [PDF]
A pathogenic hexanucleotide repeat expansion within the C9orf72 gene has been identified as the major cause of two neurodegenerative syndromes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Digital seed amplification assay for TDP‐43 aggregate quantification in CSF
Abstract INTRODUCTION Dementia is commonly caused by underlying pathologies driven by misfolded protein aggregates. Although dementia subtypes have distinct mechanisms, overlapping symptoms make diagnosis without biomarkers difficult. Misdiagnosis has previously hindered drug development by enrolling patients non‐specifically in trials.

NAD+‒circadian rhythm coupling in dementia
Abstract The circadian rhythm system and sleep coordinate whole‐body functions across the 24‐h cycle, yet these rhythms progressively deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Growing evidence indicates that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) interacts with the circadian system through multiple molecular pathways and that ...

Objective Age of symptom onset is highly variable in familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration (f‐FTLD). Accurate prediction of onset would inform clinical management and trial enrollment. Prior studies indicate that individualized maps of brain atrophy can predict conversion to dementia in f‐FTLD.

Bioinformatics Data Mining Approach Suggests Coexpression of AGTPBP1 with an ALS-linked Gene C9orf72
Background Expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats located in the noncoding region of the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) gene represent the most common genetic abnormality for familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ...

Ice bucket challenge bears fruit for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
In 2014, the ‘ice bucket challenge’ raised over $140 million worldwide for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This unprecedented boost to research funding is now beginning to deliver significant advances in our understanding of the ...

Increases in sphingomyelin in response to TDP‐43 pathology in the disease‐affected motor cortex of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) brain. Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons and the presence of TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43 ...

C9orf72 dipeptides activate the NLRP3 inflammasome
Abstract Frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are neurodegenerative diseases with considerable clinical, genetic and pathological overlap. The most common cause of both diseases is a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9orf72.

C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in Caucasian populations. However, the relationship between C9orf72 repeats and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was not clear.
