Autosomal dominant inheritance of rapidly progressive amyotrophic lateral sclerosis due to a truncation mutation in the fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene.
- Abstract:
-
Mutations in the gene encoding the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS) account for 4 - 5% of familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We describe the identification and in vitro cellular characterization of a genetic mutation in a family in which the index case, and subsequently her two children, each developed rapidly progressive ALS at a young age and died within a year of onset. Exome capture and sequencing revealed a mutation in the FUS gene consisting of a 2-bp delet...
