ALS Exome
About the project
ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative and heterogeneous disease, with only a fraction of cases being explained by causative mutations in more than two dozen identified ALS genes. The genetic epidemiology of ALS varies among ethnic groups, but there is a significant bias towards patients of? European ancestry in sequencing data. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to identify novel genetic causes of ALS in understudied populations, specifically in Mongolia and Egypt.
