Sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; SALS) accounts for more than 90% of all cases of the fatal neurodegenerative disease ALS. Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase () gene mutations are the confirmed causes of adult-onset ALS. Here, we report a novel nonsense mutation, c.417_418insT (p.Asn140Ter), in exon 5 of the gene in a Chinese adult female patient with SALS who showed rapid disease progression. This novel mutation will help deepen our understanding of the genetic pathogenesis of ALS.
散发性肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS;SALS)占所有致命神经退行性疾病 ALS 病例的 90%以上。铜/锌超氧化物歧化酶()基因突变为成人发病型 ALS 的明确病因。在此,我们报告了一位中国成年女性 SALS 患者中基因外显子 5 上的一个新的无义突变 c.417_418insT(p.Asn140Ter),该患者疾病进展迅速。这个新的突变将有助于加深我们对 ALS 遗传发病机制的理解。
