Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Some authors have recently reported that the CC genotype of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1541160 mapping within the kinesin-associated protein 3 (KIFAP3) gene is associated with increased survival in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS). OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: The relationship between the rs1541160 genotype and several clinical features of 228 ALS patients was evaluated with the...
