Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the third most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to unravel more genetic etiology of ALS, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted. However, the newly identified ALS susceptibility loci exert only very small risk effects and cannot fully explain the underlying ALS genetic risk. A large...
