Macrophage responses in inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies.

abstract：:We describe a French amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) family with two distinct mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene. The D90A mutation has been well described and clearly shown to cause recessive ALS. In this family, affected individuals are heterozygous for the D90A mutation and also carry a sin...
