TDP-43 and FUS, two FTD related proteins previously decribed, are structurally related to the hnRNPs that are found to bind C9ORF72 RNA foci (Lee et al., 2013; Mori et al., 2013b), however FUS and TDP-43 do not colocalize with C9ORF72 RNA foci in cells, patient motor neuron cultures or in spinal motor neurons from patients (Lagier-Tourenne et al., 2013; Lee et al., 2013; Sareen et al., 2013). The gene discussed is FUS; the disease is frontotemporal dementia.
