1 METHODS: We assessed the PolyQ lengths of ATXN-1 and ATXN-2 in 405 patients with sALS, 13 patients with fALS, and 296 unrelated controls without history of neurodegenerative disorders. polyglutamine ataxin 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: We found significantly higher intermediate PolyQ expansions >= 32 for ATXN-1 alleles and >= 28 for ATXN-2 alleles in the sALS cohort (ATXN-1: ALS, 7.07% vs controls, 2.38%; p = 0.0001; ATXN-2: ALS, 2.72% vs controls, 0.5%; p = 0.001). polyglutamine ataxin 1 Homo sapiens
