## Abstract To clarify the genetic background of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/parkinsonism–dementia complex (PDC) of the Kii peninsula, Japan (Kii ALS/PDC), we performed extended mutation analyses of three patients with pathologically diagnosed Kii ALS/PDC. Direct sequencing analyses were pe

## Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinsonism‐dementia complex of the Kii peninsula (Kii ALS/PDC) is an endemic and a tauopathy, which shows clinical symptoms of amyotrophy, parkinsonism, and dementia. The objective of this study was to report the role of oxidative stress on Kii ALS/PD
## Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis‐parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS/PDC) is a distinct neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ALS pathology with neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the spinal cord and brain. Recent clinical studies have revealed a high incidence and a high familial occu
## Abstract We report a patient with autosomal‐dominant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a sequence variation in the __SOD1__ promoter region, located in the conserved TATA box motif (TATAAA→TGTAAA). Functional promoter studies of this variant in an in vitro system showed moderate reduction
