Investigating the role of ALS genes CHCHD10 and TUBA4A in Belgian FTD-ALS spectrum patients
Abstract: Mutation screening and phenotypic profiling of 2 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) and frontotemporal dementia(FTD) associated genes, CHCHD10 and TUBA4A, were performed in a Belgian cohort of 459 FTD, 28 FTD-ALS, and 429 ALS patients. In CHCHD10, we identified a novel nonsense mutation (p.Gln108*) in a patient with atypical clinical FTD and pathology-confirmed Parkinson's disease (1/459, 0.22%) leading to loss of transcript. We further observed 3 previously described missense variants (p.Pro34Ser, p.Pro80Leu, and p.Pro96Thr) that were also present in the matched control series. In T... Mehr ...
