Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Mutations in C9ORF72 (the most prevalent risk gene for familial ALS and FTD) are likewise linked to disruption of the ALN, including interference with dynactin–dynein coordinated transport of autophagosomes along axons of motor neurons to the perikarya 82,88 . PubMed:30116051
For example, mutations in OPTN and TBK1 interfere with cargo loading 82,84,87 . PubMed:30116051
ALS shares many causal genes with FTD, including SQSTM1, CHMP2B, TBK1 (which encodes tank-binding kinase 1), OPTN (which encodes optineurin) and other genes associated with deficits in ALN and mitophagy. PubMed:30116051
