ALS1 NIPA1

Disease ID
ALS1
Gene ID
NIPA1

Disease

Name
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Description
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the death of motor neurons in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis. ALS usually begins with asymmetric involvement of the muscles in middle adult life1 .
Prevalence
2.7-7.4/100,000 for all cases of ALS, NIPA1 + C9orf72 is 0.37% of ALS patients; frequency of NIPA1 expansion in controls is 3.74%2 . The NIPA1 expansion is associated with disease globally3 , but likely unassociated in African probands4 .
