Mutations in UBQLN2 encoding ubiquilin-2 have recently been identified in families with dominant X-linked juvenile and adult-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ALS/dementia. Ubiquilin-2 is a component of the ubiquitin inclusions detected in degenerating neurons in ALS patients. All the previously reported UBQLN2 mutations were localized in 1 of the 12 PXX domains of ubiquilin-2 protein. We sequenced...
