Abstract
Hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the bi-directionally transcribed C9orf72 gene is the most frequent cause of familial ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Kramer et al. (2016) report in Science that targeted reduction in the transcription elongation factor SUPT4H1/SUPT5H reduces both sense and antisense repeat-containing RNAs and their associated neurodegeneration.
