MOBP and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Van Eijk and Eijkemans [6] recently demonstrated that genotypic data for unc-13 homolog a (UNC13A), myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic protein (MOBP), and the repeat expansion in c9orf720-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) could influence both primary and secondary outcomes including survival, ALS functional rating scale (ALFSRS) and forced vital capacity (FVC) measures.
