Repeat expansions in C9orf72 rewire the 3D chromatin landscape in ALS

Tatiana Ulloa Avila, Jingying Wang, Lydia O. Adams, Ellen Hu, A. Hernández Beltrán, Alexey Kozlenkov, Shreyan Urhekar, Ariana Marquez Gonzalez, Hun-Goo Lee, J. Mauro Calabrese, Stella M. Dracheva, Won Mah, Hyejung Won

This study shows that C9orf72 repeat expansions alter chromatin loops in neurons, linking RNA-DNA interactions to gene dysregulation in ALS.
