Abstract
A hexanucleotide G4C2 repeat expansion in C9orf72 causes accumulation of dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins and is the leading genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In a recent issue of Neuron, Zhang et al.1 report that elevating PI3P levels mitigates endolysosomal deficits and DPR-associated neurotoxicity.
