We were unable to replicate the previously reported association of the specific SNPs in 9p21.2 and ITPR2. SNP rs1541160 in KIFAP3, which was implicated by the only other genome-wide analysis of ALS survival [8], also did not show evidence for association in our pooled dataset (HR = 0.95, 95% CI = (0.82, 1.10), p = 0.49). This evidence concerns the gene KIFAP3 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
