SARM1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: To explore this, we assessed the distribution of mostly rare SARM1 missense SNP and small, in-frame deletion alleles between cases and controls in Project MinE consortium data freeze 1 (DF1), a public database containing WGS data for 4,366 mostly sporadic ALS patients and 1,832 non-ALS controls (Project MinE ALS Sequencing Consortium, 2018; van der Spek et al., 2019).
