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

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

TDP-43 is intercellularly transmitted across axon terminals

TL;DR: A protein complementation assay quantifying TDP-43 oligomerization in living neurons shows microvesicular and bidirectional synaptic transmission of TDP -43 and T DP-43 seeding activity in human ALS postmortem brain tissue.
