## Abstract To identify novel causes of familial neurodegenerative diseases, we extended our previous studies of TAR DNAβbinding protein 43 (TDPβ43) proteinopathies to investigate __TDPβ43__ as a candidate gene in familial cases of motor neuron disease. Sequencing of the __TDPβ43__ gene led to the

The frequency of a recently described point mutation of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) gene was investigated in a population of 154 German patients with motor neuron disease (MND). Twenty-two percent of the patients were heterozygous, 2% homozygous for the CNTF mutation. Since the gene defec

Autoimmune serological testing is a useful aid for identifying a paraneoplastic basis for sporadic motor neuron disease. A 67-year-old woman with ovarian carcinoma presented with progressive weakness. Neurological examination was suggestive of motor neuron disease with signs of upper motor neuron di
