TL;DR: A genome-wide association study among 2,323 individuals with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 9,013 control subjects and evaluated all SNPs with P < 1.0 × 10−4 revealed genome- wide significance for one SNP, rs12608932, which maps to a haplotype block within the boundaries of UNC13A, which regulates the release of neurotransmitters at neuromuscular synapses.

Evidence for an oligogenic basis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TL;DR: Evidence for an oligogenic aetiology of ALS is provided and may have important implications for the interpretation of whole exome/genome experiments designed to identify new ALS-associated genes and for genetic counselling, especially of unaffected family members.
