Research Abstract

To develop therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, identification of the disease-related genes and molecules is needed. I examined association between the large-scale prospective clinical information and the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) of the genomic genes in the ALS patient cohort. In the result, several SNPs had strong influences on survival duration or emergence of bulbar symptoms. Additional validations of this result are needed.
