SOD1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: The lack of effect of C1q gene deletion on onset and disease progression in either PD mice (Depboylu et al., 2011b), or SOD1 mutant mice complicates our understanding of the role of C1q in these conditions (Lobsiger et al., 2013) and the exact role of CP in PD and ALS pathogenesis and progression remains poorly understood.
