Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 14 With Or Without Frontotemporal Dementia; Als14

Description

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by upper and lower motor neuron dysfunction resulting in rapidly progressive paralysis and death from respiratory failure. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease include pallor of the corticospinal tract due to loss of motor neurons, presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions within surviving motor neurons, and deposition of pathologic TDP43 (TARDBP ) aggregates. Patients with ALS14 may develop frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (summary by Johnson et al., 2010).See inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD ), which is also caused by mutation in the VCP gene and shows some overlapping features. In some families with a VCP mutation, some family members may have ALS14, and other members may have IBMPFD.For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, see ALS1 (OMIM ).
