| Allelic Variant 1 |
147450.0009; AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS, FAMILIAL |
| Identified Mutation |
GLU100GLY; This mutation of the SOD1 gene was identified by Rosen et al. (1993) in a family with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Winterbourn et al. (1995) demonstrated decreased thermal stability of red cell superoxide dismutase carrying the glu100-to-gly mutation for a family with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Extracts containing the mutant had an average 68% of normal SOD activity. On heating at 65 degrees centigrade, these extracts lost activity at twice the rate of extracts containing only normal enzyme.
|
| Remarks |
Clinically affected with upper and lower motor neuron involvement; mother is affected; mother of GM08885; donor subject has one allele which has an A>G transition in exon 4 of the SOD1 gene resulting in the substitution of glycine for glutamic acid at codon 100 [Glu100Gly (E100G)] |
