Rare and common genetic determinants of mitochondrial function determine severity but not risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
23 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease involving selective vulnerability of energy-intensive motor neurons (MNs). It has been unclear whether mitochondrial function is an upstream driver or a downstream modifier of neurotoxicity. We separated upstream genetic determinants of mitochondrial function, including genetic variation within the mitochondrial genome or autosomes; from...
