Topic: Disease mechanisms in lab and animal studies
TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is an RNA binding protein found within ribonucleoprotein granules tethered to lysosomes via annexin A11. TDP-43 protein forms inclusions in many neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions (FTLD-TDP) and limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathologic change (LATE-NC). Annexin A11 is also known to form aggregates in ALS cases with pathogenic variants in ANXA11. Annexin A11 aggregation has not been described in sporadic ALS, FTLD-TDP or LATE-NC cases. To explore the relationship between TDP-43 and annexin A11, genetic analysis of 822 autopsy cases was performed to identify rare ANXA11 variants. In addition, an immunohistochemical study of 368 autopsy cases was performed to identify annexin A11 aggregates. Insoluble annexin A11 aggregates which colocalize with TDP-43 inclusions were present in all FTLD-TDP Type C cases. Annexin A11 inclusions were also seen in a small proportion (3-6%) of sporadic and genetic forms of FTLD-TDP types A and B, ALS, and LATE-NC. In addition, we confirm the comingling of annexin A11 and TDP-43 aggregates in an ALS case with the pathogenic ANXA11 p.G38R variant. Finally, we found abundant annexin A11 inclusions as the primary pathologic finding in a case of progressive supranuclear palsy-like frontotemporal dementia with prominent striatal vacuolization due to a novel variant, ANXA11 p.P75S. By immunoblot, FTLD-TDP with annexinopathy and ANXA11 variant cases show accumulation of insoluble ANXA11 including a truncated fragment. These results indicate that annexin A11 forms a diverse and heterogeneous range of aggregates in both sporadic and genetic forms of TDP-43 proteinopathies. In addition, the finding of a primary vacuolar annexinopathy due to ANXA11 p.P75S suggests that annexin A11 aggregation is sufficient to cause neurodegeneration.

Key findings
- Finally, we found abundant annexin A11 inclusions as the primary pathologic finding in a case of progressive supranuclear palsy-like frontotemporal dementia with prominent striatal vacuolization due to a novel variant, ANXA11 p.P75S.
- These results indicate that annexin A11 forms a diverse and heterogeneous range of aggregates in both sporadic and genetic forms of TDP-43 proteinopathies.
- In addition, the finding of a primary vacuolar annexinopathy due to ANXA11 p.P75S suggests that annexin A11 aggregation is sufficient to cause neurodegeneration.

How this study scored 46/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 26 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 46 out of 100.
