Abstract excerpt
Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) account for ~ 10% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) cases. Most SOD1 ALS cases show a 2–5 year clinical course, but a subset of patients exhibit a slowly progressing illness lasting 10–20 years. Substantial evidence indicates that disease-causing mutations in SOD1 promote misfolding and aggregation. Spinal tissue homogenates from paralyzed transgenic mice...
