Background: Perry syndrome (PS) is a rare and fatal hereditary autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in dynactin (DCTN1). PS brains accumulate inclusions positive for ubiquitin, transactive-response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), and to a lesser extent dynactin.

Objectives: Little is known regarding the contributions of TDP-43, an RNA binding protein that represses cryptic exon inclusion, in PS.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates inclusion body myositis (IBM), focusing on the role of TDP-43 protein and its implications in muscle pathology.
  • It found that cryptic peptides linked to TDP-43 were present in 65% of muscle biopsies from IBM patients, but absent in other controls, indicating potential as a biomarker for IBM.
  • The findings suggest that restoring TDP-43 function might help slow down muscle degeneration in patients with this disease.

Article Synopsis
  • The letter discusses how new types of cryptic proteins produced by TDP-43 dysfunction could indicate TDP-43-related issues in neurodegenerative diseases.
  • It highlights the significance of these novel proteins as potential biomarkers for diagnosing or understanding these diseases.
  • The findings could lead to improved methods for detecting and studying conditions linked to TDP-43 pathology, such as ALS and frontotemporal dementia.
