Expansions of short nucleotide repeats account for more than 50 neurological or neuromuscular diseases. Many repeat expansion-containing RNAs can generate toxic repeat proteins through repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation in all the reading frames. Understanding how RAN translation occurs and what cellular factors regulate this process will help decipher the basic mechanism of the molecular process and disease pathogenesis. Using reporter systems to quantitatively measure RAN translation provides a platform to examine candidate genes/pathways and screen for modifiers of this non-canonical pathway. In this chapter, we describe the dual-luciferase reporter system to measure RAN translation usingC9ORF72GGGGCCexpas an example, which is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
