Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified numerous risk genes for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS); however, the mechanisms by which these loci confer ALS risk are uncertain. This study aims to identify novel causal proteins in the brains of patients with ALS using an integrative analytical pipeline. METHODS: Using the datasets of Protein Quantitative Trait Loci (pQTL) (NpQTL1 = 376,...
