Recent studies identified rare missense mutations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients in the TARDBP gene encoding TAR DNA binding protein (TDP)-43, the major protein of the ubiquitinated inclusions (UBIs) found in affected motor neurons (MNs). The aim of this study was to further define

## Abstract Multiple osteochondromas (MO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), is one of the most common hereditary musculoskeletal diseases in Caucasians (1/50,000) with wide clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. Two genes have thus far been identified as causing the disea
## Abstract We report a patient with autosomalβdominant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a sequence variation in the __SOD1__ promoter region, located in the conserved TATA box motif (TATAAAβTGTAAA). Functional promoter studies of this variant in an in vitro system showed moderate reduction
