Of 85 patients with ALS, the authors identified 3 patients with balanced translocations and 2 patients with pericentric inversions, all affecting distinct chromosomal loci. The high rate of constitutional aberrations (5.9%) suggests that ALS is, in part, associated with recombination-based rearrangements of genomic sequences.
在85例肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)患者中,作者鉴定出3例平衡易位患者和2例臂间倒位患者,所有这些都影响不同的染色体位点。较高的结构畸变率(5.9%)表明,ALS在一定程度上与基于重组的基因组序列重排有关。
