Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is caused by mutations in the gene for Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in 10% of familial and sporadic cases. During the SOD1 analysis of 9 FALS and 121 SALS, in only one sporadic case we found the exonic mutation N19S; in 15 SALS patients we found a 319t>a variation in IVS1 sequence, at 108 bp upstream from exon 2. This variation has an unusually high frequency of 11% and is...
