Clinical and biochemical characterization of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a CHCHD10 R15L family

Abstract Familial forms of ALS are potential candidates for gene-directed therapies, but many recently identified genes remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide a comprehensive clinical, neuropathological, and biochemical description of fALS caused by the heterozygous p.R15L missense mutation in the gene CHCHD10. Using a cross-sectional study design, we evaluated five affected and nine unaffected individuals from a large seven-generation pedigree with at least 68 affected members. The pedig
