Neurodegenerative diseases
People who have neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also often show symptoms of protein toxicity. Cellular deficits and genetic mutations caused by these neurodegenerative diseases can pathologically alter gene transcription, negatively affecting protein metabolism.
