G507D mutation in FUS gene causes familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with a specific genotype-phenotype correlation.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in FUS gene have been described classically in young ALS patients with aggressive disease course. Here we report a large family carrying a missense mutation c.1520 G>A in FUS gene with a tight association with an atypical FUS-ALS phenotype. A 60-year-old man with unilateral leg involvement at onset showed very slow disease progression with selective posterior legs atrophy, tracing his aunt's disease...
