  1. Heterochromatin anomalies and double-stranded RNA accumulation underlie C9orf72 poly(PR) toxicity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 2019-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    How hexanucleotide GGGGCC (G 4 C 2 ) repeat expansions in C9orf72 cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not understood.

  2. C9orf72 and UNC13A are shared risk loci for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia: a genome-wide meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2014-06-27 Genetics

    We identified common genetic variants in C9orf72, but in addition in UNC13A that are shared between ALS and FTD.
