Open AccessThe Arctic AβPP mutation leads to Alzheimer’s disease pathology with highly variable topographic deposition of differentially truncated Aβ
The Arctic mutation (p.E693G/p.E22G)fs within the β-amyloid (Aβ) region of the β-amyloid precursor protein gene causes an autosomal dominant disease with clinical picture of typical Alzheimer’s disease. Here w...

VMA21 deficiency prevents vacuolar ATPase assembly and causes autophagic vacuolar myopathy
X-linked Myopathy with Excessive Autophagy (XMEA) is a childhood onset disease characterized by progressive vacuolation and atrophy of skeletal muscle. We show that XMEA is caused by hypomorphic alleles of the VM...

α-Synuclein pathology in the spinal cord autonomic nuclei associates with α-synuclein pathology in the brain: a population-based Vantaa 85+ study
In most subjects with Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, α-synuclein (αS) immunoreactive pathology is found not only in the brain but also in the autonomic nuclei of the spinal cord. However, n...

Differences in aberrant expression and splicing of sarcomeric proteins in the myotonic dystrophies DM1 and DM2
Aberrant transcription and mRNA processing of multiple genes due to RNA-mediated toxic gain-of-function has been suggested to cause the complex phenotype in myotonic dystrophies type 1 and 2 (DM1 and DM2). How...
