Novel missense mutation in <i>ALS2</i> gene results in infantile ascending hereditary spastic paralysis
22 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recessive mutations in ALS2 (juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are causative for early-onset upper motor neuron diseases, including infantile ascending hereditary spastic paralysis (IAHSP). The goal of this study is to identify novel disease-causing ALS2 mutations. METHODS: Mutations in ALS2 were screened by direct sequencing of complementary DNA obtained from patients' lymphoblasts. RESULTS: We...
