Clinical significance[edit]

"The mutations in C9ORF72 are significant because it is the first pathogenic mechanism identified to be a genetic link between familial frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis" I believe this may need reviewing, as mutations in TARDBP and FUS also provide a genetic link between familial frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
