| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this area, some families have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with gene mutation such as SOD1 L106V, C111Y, and H46R. We also identified a novel duplication in exon 1 of SOD1 gene. Lower urinary tract dysfunction, especially storage symptoms, developed about one year after the onset of weakness, and the dysfunction occurred simultaneously with artificial respirator use in the patients with SOD1 L106 mutation. The serum levels of HSP70 and HSP90 were signicantly higher in ALS patients than in controls. We confirmed that the incidence of ALS, especially older onset patient in this area has been recently increasing.
