Abstract excerpt
While 1 to 2% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is caused by mutations in the SOD1 gene, the basis of the remaining instances of inherited disease is unknown. Neuropathology, mouse modeling, and human genetics have implicated neurofilaments in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases such as ALS and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). A systematic analysis of the coding region and intron-exon boundaries of...
