Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. Several genetic factors have been associated to ALS, ranging from causal genes and potential risk factors to disease modifiers. The search for pathogenic variants in these genes has mostly focused on single nucleotide variants (SNVs) while relatively...
