## Abstract Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is frequently associated with mutations in the __SOD1__ gene. We identified a rapidly progressive disease in a patient with an inherited ALS. The identified heterozygous T>A exchange in position 1067 in the __SOD1__ gene results in an amino a

## Abstract A 71‐year‐old woman with a family history of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was investigated for symmetrical, proximal limb and abdominal muscle weakness. Initial examination showed mild proximal muscle weakness in the arms and legs, slightly elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) lev
## Abstract Approximately 10% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases are familial, and the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene mutation accounts for 20% of them. More than 100 SOD1 mutations have been described, some with peculiar phenotypes. Moreover, mutations in the SOD1 gene have been
## Abstract Episodic Ataxia Type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodes of ataxia and myokymia. It is associated with mutations in the __KCNA1__ voltage‐gated potassium channel gene. In the present study, we describe a family with novel clinical features including persistent
