Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating motor neuron disease including about 15% of genetically determined forms. A de novo mutation in the SS18L1 (also known as CREST or KIAA0693) gene encoding the calcium-responsive transactivator and/or neuronal chromatin remodeling complex subunit has recently been identified by exome sequencing of 47 sporadic ALS trios. This Q388stop mutation deleting the last 9...
