Lack of association between TREM2 rs75932628 variant and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease. Inflammatory processes are among the mechanisms that are implicated in ALS pathogenesis. The TREM2 rs75932628 T variant may influence the regulatory effect of TREM2 on inflammation. Studies regarding the role of the rs75932628 variant in ALS have yielded inconsistent results, so far. To assess the role of TREM2 rs75932628 on ALS...
