Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the isolated population of Sardinia, a Mediterranean island, ∼25% of ALS cases carry either a p.A382T mutation of the TARDBP gene or a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of the C9ORF72 gene. OBJECTIVE: To describe the co-presence of two genetic mutations in two Sardinian ALS patients. METHODS: We identified two index ALS cases carrying both the p.A382T missense mutation of...
