Aggregates of dipeptide repeat proteins produced by the mutant gene C9orf72 — the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — are toxic to neurons through interactions with a protein intended to clear cells of defective proteins, scientists reported. The findings provide a very specific focus for future drug…
