Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that leads to progressive degeneration of motoneurons. Mutations in the C9ORF72, SOD1, TARDBP and FUS genes, among others, have been associated with ALS. Although motoneuron degeneration is the common outcome of ALS, different pathological mechanisms seem to be involved in this process, depending on the genotypic background of the patient. The advent of...
