- Although defects in the gene encoding the enzyme cytosolic copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) have been reported in 20% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, the etiology of the remaining familial cases and the more common sporadic form of the disease remains unknown. Recent

- Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterised by degeneration of anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and represents the second most common, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder after cystic fibrosis. Based on the criteria of the Internatinal SMA Consortium, childhood SMAs are classified into typ

- Correlation of Ag1-CA genotype with deletion of the XS2G3/NAIP genes indicates that most patients with a deletion have a 1,1 genotype. Owing to the physical proximity of these markers, we propose that a large deletion occurs on type I SMA ...
