GPC6 mRNA is significantly increased in neuronal nuclei containing TDP-43 associated cryptic exons compared to normal nuclei within FTD patient brains. GPC6 mRNA levels as shown, in nuclei in which TDP-43 associated cryptic exons (e.g., STMN2, KALRN) have been identified (N = 87 neurons) compared to nuclei containing canonical splice junctions (N = 377 neurons). P = 0.015. a.u. arbitrary units
