Abstract excerpt
The Angiogenin (ANG) gene is frequently mutated in patients suffering from the neurodegenerative disease--amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Most of the ALS-causing mutations in Angiogenin affect either its ribonucleolytic or nuclear translocation activity. Here we report the functional characterization of two previously uncharacterized missense mutations in Angiogenin--D22G and L35P. We predict the nature of...
