Mapping of gene expression reveals CYP27A1 as a susceptibility gene for sporadic ALS.

Mapping of gene expression reveals CYP27A1 as a susceptibility gene for sporadic ALS.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of upper and lower motor neurons. ALS is considered to be a complex trait and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated a few susceptibility loci. However, many more causal loci remain...
