Other Comments

Accumulation of cytoplasmic or nuclear forms of Hsap\TARDBP in the neurons of adult flies leads to early lethality, with cytoplasmic accumulation being more toxic than nuclear accumulation. Accumulation of cytoplasmic species of Hsap\TARDBP results in progressive degeneration of retinal cells and is toxic in muscle and glial cells.
