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.

Systematic proteomics reveals plasma NEFL as a robust predictor and pathological associate in C9ORF72-related neurodegeneration [PDF]
BackgroundThe C9ORF72 repeat expansion is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). While neurofilament light chain (NEFL) is an established biomarker of neuroaxonal damage, its specific dose ...

C9ORF72 Is Pivotal to Maintain a Proper Protein Homeostasis in Mouse Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
The C9ORF72 gene mutation is a major cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Disease mechanisms involve both loss of C9ORF72 protein function and toxic effects from hexanucleotide repeat expansions.

C9orf72, a protein associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), two late onset neurodegenerative diseases, have been shown to share overlapping cellular pathologies and genetic origins. Studies suggest that a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the
