Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: H63D HFE polymorphisms increase the risk of neurodegenerative disorders and, specifically, may increase amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk. Investigating the physiological alterations induced by H63D polymorphisms in ALS patients may elucidate mechanisms by which this genotype alters disease. METHODS: Clinical measures and muscle biopsies were available from patients previously diagnosed with...
