A hexanucleotide G4C2 repeat expansion in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of familial and sporadic cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). The mutation is associated with a reduction of C9orf72 protein

Novel antibodies reveal presynaptic localization of C9orf72 protein and reduced protein levels in C9orf72 mutation carriers [PDF]
Hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but the pathogenic mechanism of this mutation remains unresolved.

FDG-PET in presymptomatic C9orf72 mutation carriers
Objective: Our aim is to investigate patterns of brain glucose metabolism using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in presymptomatic carriers of the C9orf72 repeat expansion to better understand the early preclinical stages of ...

Clinical Characteristics of C9ORF72-Linked Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration [PDF]
Background: The most common genetic cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been linked to a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene.

Neuroimaging features of C9ORF72 expansion [PDF]
Hexanucleotide expansion intronic to chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) has recently been identified as the most common genetic cause of both familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and of frontotemporal dementia with or without concomitant motor neuron disease.

Frontotemporal dementia: Clinical aspects, genetics, and neuropathology of a family with a C9ORF72 expansion in Argentina. [PDF]
Immunohistochemistry for TDP‐43: (A)—Dentate gyrus; (B)—Temporal lobe. Abstract Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early‐onset dementia, typically manifesting before the age of 65, with a mean onset at 58 years. FTD may encompass a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders resulting from frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...

C9orf72 and intracerebral hemorrhage [PDF]
The chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) GGGGCC repeat expansion has been associated with several diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. It has also been associated with increased white matter changes in frontotemporal dementia and risk of cognitive impairment in ALS.

Treatment implications of C9ORF72 [PDF]
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a common dementia syndrome in patients under the age of 65 years with many features overlapping with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The link between FTD and ALS has been strengthened by the discovery that a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in a non-coding region of the C9ORF72 gene causes both familial and sporadic

A noncoding repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In this issue of Neuron, Ash et al. (2013) show that despite being noncoding the repeats are translated, leading to widespread neuronal aggregates of the translated proteins.

Comparative interactomics analysis of different ALS-associated proteins identifies converging molecular pathways [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurological disease with no effective treatment available. An increasing number of genetic causes of ALS are being identified, but how these genetic defects lead to motor neuron degeneration and ...
