Abstract excerpt
Approximately 10% of the cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are inherited, with the majority of identified linkages in the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Recent studies showed that human wild-type SOD1 (SOD1(WT)) overexpression accelerated disease in mice expressing human SOD1 mutants linked to ALS. However, there is a controversy whether the exacerbation mechanism occurs through...
