We investigated the segregation of the copper chaperone for the superoxide dismutase (CCS) gene in two Italian families with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis lacking the mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 gene. We analyzed a total of 56 individuals; six people were affected. Diagnoses were made using the El Escorial criteria. The results of our study provide no evidence of a linkage between markers flanking the CCS gene and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) in these FALS kindreds.

Abstract

We investigated the segregation of the copper chaperone for the superoxide dismutase (CCS) gene in two Italian families with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis lacking the mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 gene. We analyzed a total of 56 individuals; six people were affected. Diagnoses were made using the El Escorial criteria. The results of our study provide no evidence of a linkage between markers flanking the CCS gene and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) in these FALS kindreds.
