Motor neuron disease caused by mutations in superoxide dismutase 1.

Abstract excerpt

A subset of pedigrees with dominant inheritance of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have mutations in superoxide dismutase 1. Initial studies suggested that disease-linked mutations impaired superoxide dismutase 1 activity, which is consistent with the notion that disease results from increased oxidative injury. However, results of recent cell culture and transgenic studies demonstrate that mutant proteins...
