Abstract excerpt
Recently, four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs2814707 in the 9p21, rs12608932 in the UNC13A gene, rs13048019 in the TIMA1 gene, and rs2228576 in the SCNN1A gene have been reported to be associated with the risk for developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in Caucasian population. However, this association is not consistent among different studies and yet to be tested in ALS patients in...
