Exome sequencing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis identifies risk genes and pathways

Elizabeth T. Cirulli, +70 more
- 27 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: A moderate-scale sequencing study aimed at increasing the number of genes known to contribute to predisposition for ALS found several known ALS genes were found to be associated, and TBK1 (the gene encoding TANK-binding kinase 1) was identified as an ALS gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large expansion of the ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type 10

TL;DR: Analysis of chromosomes from unaffected individuals of various ethnic origins showed a range of 10 to 22 ATTCT repeats with no evidence of expansions, indicating that the new SCA10 intronic ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat inSCA10 patients is unstable and represents the largest microsatellite expansion found so far in the human genome.
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.
