Genomic variants in the FTO gene are associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Greek patients

Abstract Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease whose complex pathology has been associated with a strong genetic component in the context of both familial and sporadic disease. Herein, we adopted a next-generation sequencing approach to Greek patients suffering from...
