Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease usually associated with severe weakness and death within 2-5 years. SOD1 mutations cause hereditary ALS in autosomal dominant and rarely in recessive pattern. We describe a new phenotype of slowly progressive fALS due to homozygous SOD1 mutations (c.358G > C, p.Val120Leu) in a Brazilian family. We reviewed the medical chart and interviewed the...
