Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin reductase 1 is a key enzyme in cellular redox processes, which are known to play a role in the pathogenesis of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). The gene TXNRD1 was therefore screened for association with FALS. Resequencing of the exons and flanking regions identified 19 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of which 2, the intronic SNPs rs6539137 and rs4630362, were significantly...
