Other members of the hnRNP family were recently associated with neuromuscular diseases; hnRNPA3 was found in cytoplasmic inclusions in ALS and FTLD cases caused by a hexanucleotide expansion in C9ORF72[129] and HNRPDL was identified as a cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1G [13]. The gene discussed is HNRNPA3; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
