IBD analysis of Australian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis <i>SOD1</i> -mutation carriers identifies five founder events and links sporadic cases to existing ALS families

2019-06-28

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in paralysis and eventual death. Approximately 10% of ALS cases have a family history of disease, while the remaining cases present as apparently sporadic.
