Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 21; Als21

Description

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-21 is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Some patients may develop myopathic features or dementia (summary by Johnson et al., 2014).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, see ALS1 (OMIM ).
