Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease involving motor neurons. Because a growing number of genes have been identified as the genetic etiology of ALS, simultaneous screening of mutations in multiple genes is likely to be more efficient than gene-by-gene testing. In this study, we performed a multigene panel testing by using targeted capture of 18 ALS-related genes...
