Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characteri zed by progressive loss of cortical and spinal motor neurons, the development of paralyses, and death from respiratory and bulbar failure. About 10% of ALS cases are caused by mutations in several genes, among which most important is Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene. Two hundred and six ALS patients (98 females and 108 males) were examined, including 9 patients from 8 unrelated families with a familial form of ALS. On molecular genetic analysis, SOD 1 coding mutations were detected in 50% of familial cases and 3% of sporadic cases of the disease. In the paper, a spectrum of mutations revealed in Russian patients with ALS and most representative cases of a familial form of ALS demon-strati ng the need for medi cal genetic counseli ng in affected fami l ies are presented.
