Homozygous SOD1 Variation L144S Produces a Severe Form of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in an Iranian Family
This report adds p.L144S to the short list of homozygous SOD1 variants and suggests that the development of an earlier-onset and/or faster disease progression can occur when 2 mutated alleles are present. Neurol Genet. 2021 Dec 16;8(1):e645. doi: 10.1212/NXG.0000000000000645.
Common and rare variant association analyses in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis identify 15 risk loci with distinct genetic architectures and neuron-specific biology
We conducted a cross-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 29,612 patients with ALS and 122,656 controls, which identified 15 risk loci. Nat Gene 2021 Dec;53(12):1636-1648. doi: 10.1038/s41588-021-00973-1.
Safety and efficacy of once-daily risdiplam in type 2 and non-ambulant type 3 spinal muscular atrophy (SUNFISH part 2): a phase 3, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial
Risdiplam resulted in a significant improvement in motor function compared with placebo in patients aged 2-25 years with type 2 or non-ambulant type 3 spinal muscular atrophy. Lancet Neurol. 2022 Jan;21(1):42-52. doi: 10.1016/S1474-4422(21)00367-7.
Cell-penetrating peptide-conjugated Morpholino rescues SMA in a symptomatic preclinical model
Our study demonstrates that MO-CPP conjugates can significantly expand the therapeutic window through minimally invasive systemic administration, opening the path for clinical applications of this strategy.Mol Ther 2021 Nov 19;S1525-0016(21)00583-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2021.11.012.
