DCTN1 gene analysis in Chinese patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder. Missense mutations of DCTN1 have been identified as a possible genetic risk factor for ALS. Here, we tested the DCTN1 protein-coding exons in 510 sporadic ALS patients in whom SOD1, TARDBP, FUS, and C9orf72 genes were screene...
