Disease-causing mutant proteins compiled in NeuroGeM are Aβ and tau protein for AD, SOD1 for ALS, huntingtin for HD, α-synuclein for PD, Ataxin-1 for SCA1, Ataxin-3 (MJD) for SCA3, Ataxin-7 for SCA7 and polyQ stretches for the PolyQ disease model. This evidence concerns the gene SOD1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
