Abstract

GENETICS OF AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS. Approximately 10 to 15% of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have a family history of the disease. In 2/3 of them, but also in 10% of subjects without any family history of ALS, a pathogenic genetic variant can be identified. Many genes are involved, the four main ones being C9orf72 (which can also be responsible for dementia), SOD1, TARDBP and FUS. ALS of genetic origin is almost always inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. The progress made in recent years in the knowledge of the genetic forms of ALS has led to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and has opened up new therapeutic avenues, some of which are already being explored. For all these reasons, it is now recommended that all patients with ALS, whether familial or not, undergo a genetic investigation, with analyses appropriate to their age and family history. When a pathogenic variant is found, it can then be sought in at-risk relatives who so desire. These tests must follow legally mandated procedures and can only be conducted in a specialized ALS center under the supervision of a geneticist after a thorough discussion of the personal and family implications of the result and written consent from the patient.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
