Abstract excerpt
Studies on genetic aberrations among Indian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients are limited to C9orf72 and ATXN2 repeat expansions and mutations in the SOD1 gene. In this study, we used targeted next-generation sequencing to analyze 25 ALS-associated genes in a cohort of 154 Indian ALS patients. We identified known pathogenic mutations in SOD1 (G148D; H44R), TARDBP (M337V; N267S), DAO (R199Q), and ANG...
