Retrotransposition-competent L1s are increased in the genomes of individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
3 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
An individual's genetics contributes to their risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); however, there is still a large proportion of the heritability of ALS to be understood. Part of this missing heritability may lie in complex variants, such as the long interspersed element 1 (L1) retrotransposon, which have yet to be evaluated. The majority of L1 insertions in the human genome are no longer able...
