Description

The C9orf72 gene (chromosome 9 open reading frame 72) [HGNC Gene ID: 28337] is located on chromosome 9p21.2. The protein encoded by this gene plays an important role in the regulation of endosomal trafficking, and has been shown to interact with Rab proteins that are involved in autophagy and endocytic transport. Expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat in non-coding sequence between alternate 5' exons in transcripts from this gene is associated with 9p-linked ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia). PMID: 21944778 PMID: 21944779 Studies suggest that hexanucleotide expansions could result in the selective stabilization of repeat-containing pre-mRNA, and the accumulation of insoluble dipeptide repeat protein aggregates that could be pathogenic in FTD-ALS patients PMID: 23393093. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
