No evidence of association between polymorphisms in four genes and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Han Chinese.

Abstract excerpt

The four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs34517613, rs3849943, rs8141797 and rs6703183, each located in a different gene, have recently been associated with risk of developing sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) in European and northern Chinese populations, but no data are yet available for other ethnic groups. Here we explored the possible association between these four SNPs and SALS in Han...
