Screening for novel hexanucleotide repeat expansions at ALS- and FTD-associated loci
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether GGGGCC (G(4)C(2)) repeat expansions at loci other than C9orf72 serve as common causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS: We assessed G(4)C(2) repeat number in 28 genes near known ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) loci by repeat-primed PCR coupled wit...
