Species-specific description: Xu et al. (2023): "Poly(PR) ... is one of the translational product of expanded G4C2 repeats in the C9orf72 gene, and its accumulation is contributing to the neuropathogenesis of C9orf72-associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or frontotemporal dementia (C9-ALS/FTD). [By delivering poly(PR) via [adeno-associated virus, the authors] demonstrate that poly(PR) protein alone is sufficient to induce neurodegeneration related to ALS/FTD in cynomolgus monkeys."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
