Transcriptome-based screening in TARDBP/TDP-43 knock-in motor neurons identifies the NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor MLN4924 [PDF]
A growing body of knowledge implicates perturbed RNA homeostasis in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that currently has no cure and few available treatments.

Identification of TARDBP Gly298Ser as a founder mutation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Southern China [PDF]
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by predominant impairment of upper and lower motor neurons. Over 50 TARDBP mutations have been reported in both familial (FALS) and sporadic ALS (SALS)

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated TARDBP Knockout Reduces Triacylglycerol Content and Key Milk Fat Metabolism Gene Expression in MAC-T Cells [PDF]
TARDBP mediates milk fat secretion in mice by binding to UG-rich sequences in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of BTN1A1 and XDH mRNA and enhancing their mRNA stability. However, its role in bovine milk lipid metabolism remains unclear.

An analysis of variants in TARDBP in the Korean population with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: comparison with previous data [PDF]
The TARDBP gene variant is a known major cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with limited reports of Korean patients with ALS harboring the variants in TARDBP.

FUS and TARDBP but not SOD1 interact in genetic models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Mutations in the SOD1 and TARDBP genes have been commonly identified in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Recently, mutations in the Fused in sarcoma gene (FUS) were identified in familial (FALS) ALS cases and sporadic (SALS) patients.

Profiling morphologic MRI features of motor neuron disease caused by TARDBP mutations [PDF]
ObjectiveMutations in the TARDBP gene are a rare cause of genetic motor neuron disease (MND). Morphologic MRI characteristics of MND patients carrying this mutation have been poorly described. Our objective was to investigate distinctive clinical and MRI

Absence of mutations in exon 6 of the TARDBP gene in 207 Chinese patients with sporadic amyotrohic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
Mutations in the TARDBP gene, which encodes the Tar DNA binding protein, have been shown to causes of both familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) and sporadic ALS (SALS). Recently, several novel TARDBP exon 6 mutants have been reported in patients

High frequency of the TARDBP p.M337 V mutation among south-eastern Chinese patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating motor neuron disease characterized by substantial clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Thus far, only a few TARDBP-ALS families have been reported in China, and no mutation analysis has been ...

Mutant TDP-43 Causes Early-Stage Dose-Dependent Motor Neuron Degeneration in a TARDBP Knockin Mouse Model of ALS [PDF]
Summary: Rare mutations in TARDBP, the gene encoding TDP-43, cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and TDP-43 pathology is seen in a large majority of ALS patients, suggesting a central pathogenic role of this regulatory protein. The consequences of
