Impairment of DNA repair has been associated with neurodegeneration. Here the authors investigate the mechanisms of defects in repair caused by mutations in the RNA/DNA binding protein FUS in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and elucidate its role in the DNA ligation during DNA single-strand break repair of oxidative breaks.
