Abstract excerpt
We report a novel missense mutation (Asp109Tyr) in exon 4 of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (sod1) gene in a woman with apparently sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS). Signs of motor deficit appeared at the age of 51 years which progressed over the next 6 years to upper and lower motor neuron disease and death occurred by the age of 57 years.
