The most common genetic cause of amytrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia is an expanded CCCCGG repeat in C9ORF72, which results in aggregates containing poly-Gly-Ala (poly-GA). Here, cryo-electron tomography of rat primary cultured neurons transfected to express poly-GA tagged with green fluorescent protein revealed
