These include genes in the pathways for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (NEF3, NEFL, NEFH), Huntington's disease (CALM3, CLTC, CLTB), neurodegenerative disorders (APLP1, NEFH, FBXW7), Parkinson's disease (GPR37) and prion disease (APLP1, NFE2L2). This evidence concerns the gene FBXW7 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
