FTD ALS/MND
Average age at onset 35 yearsAverage survival 12 monthsLinkage to Chromosome 16LOD score = 4Ruddy et al. AJHG 2003
RNA binding proteins and neurodegeneration: FUS
Arg 515 Gly Arg 521 His Arg 521 Cys
3 different missense mutations8 unrelated familial ALS kindreds
FUS R514G
Wildtype
FUS
GFP-FUSAnti-FUS DAPI Merge
Mutations cause FUS to relocate to the cytoplasmBecause they disrupt their nuclear localising signal
Mutant FUS forms cytoplasmic inclusions In ALS patients
