Abstract Motor neuron hyperexcitability is a broadly observed yet poorly understood feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic aggregation of the RNA splicing protein TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are observed in most ALS and FTD patients. Here we show that TDP-43 dysfunction causes mis-splicing of KCNQ2, which encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv7.2) that regulates neuronal excitability.

TDP-43 loss induces cryptic polyadenylation in ALS/FTD - Nature Neuroscience

By Sam Bryce-Smith, Puja R Mehta, Francesca Mattedi, Yue Qi, Nicol Birsa, Towfique Raj, Jack Humphrey, Matthew J. Keuss, Michael Ward, Maria Secrier, Simone Barattucci
| Nature Verified
Abstract Nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic aggregation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 are cellular hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). TDP-43 nuclear loss causes de-repression of cryptic exons, yet cryptic alternative polyadenylation (APA) events have been largely overlooked.
