Mutation analysis of the optineurin gene in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the optineurin gene (OPTN) have been reported in rare familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. It is yet to be established whether mutations segregate with dominantly inherited familial ALS. We therefore performed mutation analysis in a cohort of 96 autosomal dominant ALS families. A novel heterozygous nonsynonymous variant (c.218C > T, S73L) was identified in one patient;...
