Genetics is an import risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Recent findings demonstrate that, in addition to specific genetic mutations, structural variants caused by genetic instability can also play a causative role in ALS. Genomic instability can lead to deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, and translocations in the genome, and these changes can sometimes lead to fusion of distinct genes into a single transcript. While such gene fusion events have been studied extensively in cancer, they have not been thoroughly investigated in ALS. We leveraged bulk RNA-Seq data from human post-mortem samples to determine whether fusion events occur in ALS. We report for the first time the presence of gene fusion events in several brain regions as well as in spinal cord samples in ALS. Although most gene fusions were intra-chromosomal events between neighboring genes and present in both ALS and control samples, there was a significant increase in the number of unique gene fusion in ALS compared to controls. Lastly, we have identified specific gene fusions with a significant burden in ALS, that were absent from both control samples and known cancer gene fusion databases. Collectively, our findings reveal an enrichment of gene fusion in ALS and suggest that these events may be an additional genetic cause linked to ALS pathogenesis.
