Recently, mutations of the coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) and 10 (CHCHD10) which encode two homologous proteins that belong to the mitochondrial CHCH domain protein family, are linked to Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/frontotemporal dementia (FTD), respectively. This evidence concerns the gene CHCHD2 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
