Somatic mutation: a cause of sporadic neurodegenerative diseases?

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2004

Pamphlett Roger

Abstract excerpt

The major causes of the common neurodegenerative diseases remain unknown. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neuron disease occur in both sporadic and familial forms, and mutations are progressively being found in families with these disorders. However, attempts to find causative...
