Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the progressive degeneration of cortical and spinal motor neurons. Mendelian germline mutations often cause familial ALS (fALS) but only approximately 10% of sporadic ALS cases (sALS). We leveraged DNA and single-cell RNA sequencing data from autopsy tissue to explore the presence of somatic mosaic variants in sALS cases. Deep targeted panel sequencing of...
