The largest release of ALS genomic data was published in 2018 by Nicolas et al., and identified KIF5A as a novel ALS-associated gene; the study included a publicly-available large meta-analysis dataset of 10,031,630 imputed SNPs of 20,806 ALS and 59,804 controls as well as providing controlled access to “raw” genomic data including SNP-arrays of 12,188 cases and 3,292 controls [12,17]. Here, KIF5A is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
