Abstract:
:Mutations in the profilin 1 (PFN1) gene, encoding a member of the profilin family of small actin-binding proteins, have been recently reported in patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of PFN1 mutations by sequencing the coding region of this gene in a cohort of 94 familial ALS patients from France and Quebec. No mutations were identified in our cohort suggesting that PFN1 gene mutations are a very rare cause of familial ALS among patients with predominantly European ancestry.
