Linkage of Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With Frontotemporal Dementia to Chromosome 9q21-q22
4 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Occasionally, 2 or more major neurodegenerative diseases arise simultaneously. An understanding of the genetic bases of combined disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), will likely provide insight into mechanisms of these and related neurodegenerative diseases. OBJECTIVE: To identify loci that contain genes whose defects cause ALS. DESIGN: A genome-wide...
