Distinct C9orf72-Associated Dipeptide Repeat Structures Correlate with Neuronal Toxicity.

Distinct C9orf72-Associated Dipeptide Repeat Structures Correlate with Neuronal Toxicity.

Hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9orf72 are the most common inherited cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The expansions elicit toxicity in part through repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of the intronic (GGGGCC)n sequence into dipeptide repea...
