Stress granule markers have been shown to co-localize with TDP-43-positive inclusions in the ALS spinal cord (Liu-Yesucevitz et al., 2010; Bentmann et al., 2012), or partially colocalize with smaller punctate forms of TDP-43 (Colombrita et al., 2009). This evidence concerns the gene TARDBP and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
