Genome-wide association analyses identify new risk variants and the genetic architecture of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Wouter van Rheenen, +187 more
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
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%).
Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 is recruited to stress granules in conditions of oxidative insult.

TL;DR: It is proved that TDP‐43 is not necessary for SG formation, and its gene silencing does not impair cell survival during stress, and an altered control of mRNA translation in stressful conditions may trigger motor neuron degeneration at early stages of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.
