Research Abstract |
Several studies about DNA/RNA binding proteins such as TDP-43 and FUS have examined. I found a novel TARDBP gene mutation in familial ALS patients and published the clinical and pathological findings of them in detail. Furthermore, I published the reports about a patient with familial ALS with FUS mutation, a patient with sporadic ALS with numerous FUS-positive inclusions, and the mechanism of neuronal degeneration of the model rats of ALS. I also read the paper about the relationship between TDP-43 and FUS at the international meetings.
