Baralle,Jacqueline de Belleroche,J. Douglas Mitchell,P. Nigel Leigh,Ammar Al-Chalabi,Christopher C.J. Miller,Christopher C.J. Miller,Garth A. Nicholson,Garth A. Nicholson,Christopher Shaw +20 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests a pathophysiological link between TDP-43 and ALS, and neighboring mutations in a highly conserved region of TARDBP in sporadic and familial ALS cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in FUS, an RNA Processing Protein, Cause Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Type 6

TL;DR: A missense mutation in the gene encoding fused in sarcoma (FUS) in a British kindred, linked to ALS6, is identified, which suggests that a common mechanism may underlie motor neuron degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA/RNA Helicase Gene Mutations in a Form of Juvenile Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS4)

Nicholson,Michaela Auer-Grumbach,Klaus Wagner,Peter De Jonghe,John W. Griffin,Kenneth H. Fischbeck,Vincent Timmerman,David R. Cornblath,Phillip F. Chance +20 more
TL;DR: Observations of ALS4 suggest that mutations in SETX may cause neuronal degeneration through dysfunction of the helicase activity or other steps in RNA processing.

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%).
