TARDBP and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: The results show a correlation between the levels of antibodies and HERV-K and TDP-43 epitopes in ALS patients; these correlations are: HERV-K-env-su(20–38) and TDP-43(258–271) (r = 0.297, p = 0.048) (Figure 3A), HERV-K-env-su(20–38), and TDP-43(398–411) (r = 0.488, p = 0.001) (Figure 3C), and finally HERV-K-env-su(20–38) and TDP-43(398–411)P (r = 0.435, p = 0.003) (Figure 3E).
