TL;DR: Evidence of ALS being a complex genetic trait with a polygenic architecture is established and the SNP-based heritability is estimated at 8.5%, with a distinct and important role for low-frequency variants (frequency 1–10%).

TL;DR: A software tool called ExpansionHunter is developed that, using PCR-free WGS short-read data, can genotype repeats at the locus of interest, even if the expanded repeat is larger than the read length, and provides researchers with a tool that can be used to identify new pathogenic repeat expansions.
