Disorder 4:
The accumulation of misfolded proteins disrupts the functioning of one specific organelle,
leading to induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR) that protects cells against the toxic
buildup of such proteins. However, prolonged stress due to the buildup of these toxic proteins
induces specific cell death pathways. There is accumulating evidence that this contributes to
the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The accumulation and
aggregation of misfolded proteins is linked to occurrence of several neurodegenerative
disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), Huntington's disease (HD) and prion diseases.
