Tazelaar et al. show an association between intermediate ATXN1 repeat expansions and ALS, possibly via mislocalization of TDP-43, emphasizing the role of polyglutamine expansions in the pathophysiology of ALS bit.ly/30r9tHk Project MinE @LeonardvandBerg Ammar Al-Chalabi


A new breakthrough from Project MinE! We show that a ārepeat expansionāā an abnormal repetition of a stretch of DNA ā in the ATXN1 gene increases the chance of developing ALS. Our findings are published in @BrainComms. Read more about our results here: projectmine.com/atxn1-a-new-reā¦








Honoured to receive the #HealeyCenterAward today at the MND Association symp! Started in 2014 by ALS patients, MinE is now the largest single disease whole genome sequencing project in the world. A big thanks to everyone that made this possible #MakeItYours
