What Is Als Disease - Pictures

Approximately 10% of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have familial ALS (FALS), and 20% of FALS are caused by mutations of superoxide dismutase type 1 (MTSOD1). the fact that some MTSOD1s that cause FALS have full dismutase activity (e.g., G37R) and others no dismutase activity (e.g., G85R) suggests that MTSOD1 causes FALS due to a toxicity of the protein rather than a loss in enzymatic function. Compelling data have demonstrated that motor neuron (MN) degeneration can result from a non cell autonomous effect of the MTSOD1. In order to clarify the role of astrocytes
