Haploinsufficiency of TBK1 causes familial ALS and fronto-temporal dementia
The authors show that haploinsufficiency of TBK1 causes familial forms of the neurodegenerative diseases ALS and FTD. Loss of binding of a TBK1 protein interaction domain to optineurin, a protein previously linked to ALS, is sufficient to cause the disease. Both proteins regulate autophagy and infla...
