Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding fused-in-sarcoma (FUS) have been identified in a subset of patients with sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Variants in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of FUS have also been reported in ALS patients, but their pathogenic role has not been assessed. We sequenced the whole 3'UTR of FUS in 420 ALS patients who were negative for mutations in the currently...
