Lack of C9ORF72 Protein Renders Neurons More Vulnerable to Degeneration

Was lack of C9ORF72 protein to blame for this vulnerability? To test this, the authors upped C9ORF72 expression in patient and control iMNs by expressing the normal gene off a retrovirus. This rescued survival in patient iMNs and had no effect on controls. Then, the researchers knocked out one or both ...
