How dipeptide repeats cause pathology A repeat expansion in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) gene is the most common known cause of two neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This expansion leads to the abnormal production of proteins of repeating dipeptides, but their contribution to disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Zhang et al. engineered a mouse model to study the consequences of one of these dipeptides—prolinearginine dipeptide repeat protein, poly(PR)—in the brain. They found that poly(PR) caused neuron loss as well as motor and memory impairments. These detrimental effects resulted from poly(PR)-induced perturbation of heterochromatin function, a tightly packed form of DNA that represses gene expression. Science , this issue p. eaav2606
