Abstract excerpt
We performed a replication study of the 2 genetic variants, rs34517613 on 17q11.2 and rs3849942 on 9p21.2 in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease in a Chinese population. These 2 variants are identified to be associated with increased risk of ALS in European-descended populations by genome-wide association studies. Both rs34517613 and rs3849942 showed no evidence of...
