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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exome-wide rare variant analysis identifies TUBA4A mutations associated with familial ALS.

Bradley N. Smith, +64 more
- 22 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an exome-wide rare variant burden analysis of 363 index cases with familial ALS (FALS) was performed and the results revealed an excess of patient variants within TUBA4A, the gene encoding the Tubulin, Alpha 4A protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

NEK1 variants confer susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Kevin P. Kenna, +82 more
- 25 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In a new screening strategy, gene-burden analyses trained with established ALS genes are performed and a significant association between loss-of-function (LOF) NEK1 variants and FALS risk is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the vesicular trafficking protein annexin A11 are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that mutations in ANXA11 are associated with ALS and implicate defective intracellular protein trafficking in disease pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCNF mutations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia

Kelly L. Williams, +81 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used genome-wide linkage analysis in a large ALS/FTD kindred to identify a novel disease locus on chromosome 16p13.3, which encodes cyclin F, a component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (SCFCyclin F).
