Abstract:19Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating late-onset neurodegenerative disorder in 20 which only a small proportion of patients carry an identifiable causative genetic lesion. Despite 21 high heritability estimates, a genetic etiology for most sporadic ALS remains elusive. Here we 22 report the epigenetic profiling of five monozygotic twin pairs discordant for ALS in whom 23 previous genome sequencing excluded a genetic basis for their disease discordance. By studying 24 cytosine methylation patte… Show more
