Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The dose-effect of various SOD1 mutations on SOD1 enzymatic activity offers valuable insights into ALS pathogenesis with possible therapeutic implications. Homozygous SOD1 mutations, yet scarce, are of special interest. We report a novel homozygous SOD1 mutation with decreased enzymatic activity and severe early onset ALS phenotype. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing and targeted screening of commonly...
