or 25 percent. In the people who did not have ALS, 49 of the 324 people tested, or 15 percent, hadrare gene variantslinked to ALS. Overall, the people with ALS were nearly twice as likely to have agene variantassociated with the disease than those who did not have the disease. ...
Is neurofibromatosis 2 autosomal dominant? What is the most common autosomal recessive disease? What autosomal gene is responsible for refsum disease? What chromosome has the genetic mutation for schizophrenia? What is an autosomal mutation? What is required for an autosomal recessive disorder to appear...
“The biological mechanisms that cause ALS are only partially understood. The only known cause of ALS is a mutation of a specific gene: the SOD1 gene. This mutation is believed to make a defective protein that is toxic to motor nerve cells. The SOD1 mutation, however, accounts for only 1...
What is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation? Can gene flow affect mutation rate? What process adds genes to a gene pool? What causes pervasive developmental disorder? How does the gene pool stagnate? What genetic mutation causes ALS?
aMuch of what is known about the genetic basis of high-altitude adaptation in natural populadons comes from studies that have taken a ‘candidate gene’approach, and many of these studies have focused on sequence variation in hemoglobin genes. Several of these have become well-known case studies...

“For hereditary ALS, RNA therapy is being tested to eliminate the effect of the causative gene,” Kim said. “Clinical trials of various drugs based on various mechanisms are being conducted for sporadic ALS patients.”

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by psychiatric, cognitive, and motor dysfunction. The genetic analysis of HD has been the flagship study of inherited neurological diseases from initial chromosomal localization to identification of theHuntingtongene. It has bee...
