Cumulative genetic risk and<i>C9orf72</i>repeat status independently associate with ALS status in two case-control studies
2022-10-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Most amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients lack a monogenic mutation. This study evaluates ALS cumulative genetic risk in an independent Michigan and Spanish replication cohort using polygenic scores. <h4>Methods</h4> ALS (n=219) and healthy control (n=223) participant samples from University of Michigan were genotyped and assayed for the C9orf72 hexanucleotide expansion. Polygenic score...
