ALSOD -- the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Online Database
What you can do:
Online database for ALS genetic (SOD1, ALS2, VAPN and NEFH) mutations.
Highlights:
- More than 100 point mutations spanning the 153 amino acid SOD1 sequence have been identified in individuals with ALS.
- In 1999 the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Database (ALSOD) was generated to store these mutations along with ALS patient information to facilitate the identification of a correlation between the SOD1 genotype with the ALS phenotype.
- ALSOD now provides a more comprehensive knowledge base for ALS, detailing genetic, proteomic, and bioinformatics information associated with the disease.
Keywords:
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
- Superoxide Dismutase
- SOD1
- ALS
