Single-nucleus sequencing reveals enriched expression of genetic risk factors in Extratelencephalic Neurons sensitive to degeneration in ALS
2021-07-13
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a progressive loss of motor function. The eponymous spinal sclerosis observed at autopsy is the result of the degeneration of extratelencephalic neurons, Betz cells (ETNs, Cortico-Spinal Motor Neuron). It remains unclear why this neuronal subtype is selectively affected. To understand the unique molecular properties that sen...
