Disease-Causing Proteins Linked to ALS, Multisystem Proteinopathy

A group of researchers has identified a new crop of proteins that cause brain disorders. In the online publication Nature, doctors note that mutations in prion-like segments of two RNA-binding proteins are linked to a rare degeneration disorder called multisystem proteinopathy and a case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
