Journal ArticleDOI

SQSTM1 mutations in familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

TL;DR: The findings provide evidence of a direct genetic role for p62 in ALS pathogenesis and suggest that regulation of protein degradation pathways may represent an important therapeutic target in motor neuron degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion to the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis phenotype is associated with intermolecular linked insoluble aggregates of SOD1 in mitochondria

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence of direct links among oxidation, protein aggregation, mitochondrial damage, and SOD1-mediated ALS, with possible applications to the aging process and other late-onset neurodegenerative disorders, and rational therapy can now be developed and tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy and CMT2C are allelic disorders caused by alterations in TRPV4.

TL;DR: It is reported that SPSMA and CMT2C are allelic disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4 (TRPV4), implying a pathogenic mechanism and possible options for therapy for these disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frameshift and novel mutations in FUS in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and ALS/dementia.

TL;DR: FUS gene mutations are not an uncommon cause in patients with FALS from diverse genetic backgrounds, and have a prevalence of 5.6% in non-SOD1 and non-TARDBP FALS, and ∼4.79% in all FALS.
