A novel SOD1 mutation in a young amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patient with a very slowly progressive clinical course.
MUSCLE & NERVE(2010)
Abstract
Approximately 10% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases are familial, and the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene mutation accounts for 20% of them. More than 100 SOD1 mutations have been described, some with peculiar phenotypes. Moreover, mutations in the SOD1 gene have been described in apparently sporadic ALS cases. We report a new mutation (D11Y) in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene in a patient with ALS and an unusually slow disease progression. Muscle Nerve 42: 596-597, 2010
