Modulating the ALS-associated C9orf72 repeat expansion in a murine model for therapeutic benefit

Mutations in a gene called C9ORF72 are the most common genetic cause of ALS. These mutations are unique in that unlike most other ALS-linked genes, where there is often a mistake in a single piece of DNA, C9ORF72 mutations involve a section of DNA that is abnormally repeated hundreds or even thousands of times.
