Structural variation analysis of 6,500 whole genome sequences in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
28 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
There is a strong genetic contribution to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk, with heritability estimates of up to 60%. Both Mendelian and small effect variants have been identified, but in common with other conditions, such variants only explain a little of the heritability. Genomic structural variation might account for some of this otherwise unexplained heritability. We therefore investigated association...
