Targeted Screening of the C9orf72 Gene in Bulgarian Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness, hypotrophy, swallowing and respiratory failure. The cause of ALS is not yet fully elucidated, but there are 35 associated ge...
