Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the most common motor neuron disease of the adulthood. Genetic analyses performed on cases with sporadic ALS (sALS) and familial ALS (fALS) have revealed mutations most commonly in the genes C9orf72, SOD1, TARDBP, FUS ...

Analysis of neurodegenerative Mendelian genes in clinically diagnosed Alzheimer disease [PDF]
Alzheimer disease (AD), Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson disease (PD) have a certain degree of clinical, pathological and molecular overlap.

Dissociation of structural and functional integrities of the motor system in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Background and Purpose: This study investigated the structural and functional changes in the motor system in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; n=25) and behavioral-variant fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD; n=17) relative to healthy controls (n=37 ...

PRNP P39L variant is a rare cause of frontotemporal dementia in Iialian population [PDF]
The missense P39L variant in the prion protein gene (PRNP) has recently been associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here, we analyzed the presence of the P39L variant in 761 patients with FTD and 719 controls and found a single carrier among ...

Genetics of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
To analyze results of the studies covering modern scientific views on the genetics of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS).We searched for full-text publications containing the key words “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis”, “FALS”, and “genetics” in

miR126-5p Downregulation Facilitates Axon Degeneration and NMJ Disruption via a Non-Cell-Autonomous Mechanism in ALS. [PDF]
Axon degeneration and disruption of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are key events in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathology. Although the disease\u27s etiology is not fully understood, it is thought to involve a non-cell-autonomous mechanism and ...

Transcriptome-pathology correlation identifies interplay between TDP-43 and the expression of its kinase CK1E in sporadic ALS. [PDF]
Sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) is the most common form of ALS, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular damage and motor neuron degeneration remain elusive.

C9orf72 intermediate repeats are associated with corticobasal degeneration, increased C9orf72 expression and disruption of autophagy [PDF]
Microsatellite repeat expansion disease loci can exhibit pleiotropic clinical and biological effects depending on repeat length. Large expansions in C9orf72 (100s-1000s of units) are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).

Heat shock-induced phosphorylation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) by MAPK/ERK kinase regulates TDP-43 function [PDF]
TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is a highly conserved and essential DNA- and RNA-binding protein that controls gene expression through RNA processing, in particular, regulation of splicing.
