Most of genes related to ALS are involved in RNA metabolism, endosome trafficking, autophagy and energy metabolism.
C9ORF72 expansion plays a common role in sporadic and familiar ALS pathogenesis.
ALS is a multi-system disease with important metabolic alterations.
Genes, environment and toxins are key factors to unveil the enigma of motor neuron degeneration.
