Chromosome 9p21 in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the UK and seven other countries: a genome-wide association study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found strong evidence of a genetic association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms in a locus on chromosome 9p21.2 with sporadic ALS, in line with previous independent GWAS of ALS and linkage studies of ALS-frontotemporal dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

A confirmatory dose-ranging study of riluzole in ALS

TL;DR: Riluzole is well tolerated and decreases the risk of death or tracheostomy in ALS patients and is confirmed in a large representative ALS sample over an 18-month period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced expression of the Kinesin-Associated Protein 3 (KIFAP3) gene increases survival in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TL;DR: Findings support the view that genetic factors modify phenotypes in this disease and that cellular motor proteins are determinants of motor neuron viability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in FUS cause FALS and SALS in French and French Canadian populations

TL;DR: This study identified sporadic patients with mutations in the FUS gene, and the accumulation and description of different genes and mutations helps to develop a more comprehensive picture of the genetic events underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies a novel locus at 17q11.2 associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Isabella Fogh, +110 more
TL;DR: The results provide an insight into the genetic structure of sporadic ALS, confirming that common variation contributes to risk and that sufficiently powered studies can identify novel susceptibility loci, and estimated the contribution of common variation to heritability of sporadicALS as ∼12% using a linear mixed model accounting for all SNPs.
