State of play in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis genetics.

TL;DR: Current literature of the major genes underlying ALS, SOD1, TARDBP, FUS, OPTN, VCP, UBQLN2, C9ORF72 and PFN1 are summarized and how each new genetic discovery is broadening the phenotype associated with the clinical entity the authors know as ALS is outlined.

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

Dissection of genetic factors associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

TL;DR: Past and current methods used for the identification of FALS and SALS associated genes are reviewed and a risk-based classification for these are proposed and the three most recently discovered 'high risk' genes in ALS are summarized.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

TL;DR: Findings from ALS genetics provide new insight into therapies that target genetically distinct subsets of ALS and FTD, as well as numerous downstream pathophysiological events.
