Abstract excerpt
We report clinical characteristics of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) with 4 different missense point mutations in exons 2, 4, and 5 of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene, that result in amino acid substitutions of histidine46 by arginine (H46R), leucine84 by valine (L84V), isoleucine104 by phenylalanine (I104F), and valine148 by isoleucine (V148I), in 5 Japanese families.
