Motor Neuron Generation from iPSCs from Identical Twins Discordant for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of the upper and lower motor neurons.Approximately 10% of cases are caused by specific mutations in DUM-DUM known genes, with the remaining cases having no known genetic link.As such, sporadic cases have been more difficult to model experimentally.
