This included two genes associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): unc13a on LG3 (Diekstra et al. 2012) and nek1 on LG8 (Kenna et al. 2016), three genes associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): tblxr1b on LG3 and gabrb3 and gabrg3 on LG8, and one disease gene associated with muscular dystrophy, sgcb, on LG8.
