Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine whether diffusion abnormalities can be observed in nonsymptomatic family members with a known causative Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase mutation (asymptomatic familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; AFALS(+SOD1)) in a family with autosomal dominant familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of eight AFALS(+SOD1) subjects (aged...
