Gene co-expression network analysis in human spinal cord highlights mechanisms underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease defined by motor neuron (MN) loss. Multiple genetic risk factors have been identified, implicating RNA and protein metabolism and intracellular transport, among other biological mechanisms. To achieve a systems-level understanding of the mechanisms governing ALS pathophysiology, we built gene co-expression networks using RNA-sequencing data from...
