The past decade has seen a rapid acceleration in the discovery of new genetic causes ALS, with more than 20 putative ALS-causing genes now cited. These encode proteins that cover diverse range molecular functions, including free radical scavenging (e.g., SOD1), regulation RNA homeostasis TDP-43 and FUS), protein degradation through ubiquitin-proteasome system ubiquilin-2 cyclin F) autophagy (TBK1 sequestosome-1/p62). It is likely various initial triggers disease (either genetic,...
