Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset, progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease. Several genes are associated with ALS. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is one of the most commonly mutated genes in ALS, and more than 160 mutations in SOD1 have been reported. We reported a novel heterozygous insertion mutation that led to a frameshift and a premature termination at position 136 in exon...
