Genetic and epigenetic study of ALS-discordant identical twins with double mutations inSOD1andARHGEF28

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterised by a loss of motor neurons, leading to paralysis. Several autosomal dominant genes were implicated in ALS pathogenesis, such as SOD1 , with over 180 reported mutations (http://alsod.iop.kcl.ac.uk/), including a p.T137A substitution.1 ,2 Recently, ARHGEF28 , encoding an RNA binding protein involved in the aggregation of light neurofilaments in ALS, was suggested...
