Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the SOD1 gene encoding the free radical scavenging enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) occur in patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Recent reports have shown homozygosity for a CuZn-SOD mutation in exon 4, the D90A (Asp90A1a) mutation. Other mutations described to date show an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. This is the first description of autosomal...
