Twenty-one FRGs (NR4A1, CYBB, DRD4, SETD1B, LAMP2, ACSL4, MYB, PROM2, CHMP5, ULK1, AKR1C2, TGFBR1, TMBIM4, MLLT1, PSAT1, HIF1A, LINC00336, AMN, SLC38A1, CISD1, and GABARAPL2) in the autopsy data and 16 FRGs (NR4A1, DRD4, SETD1B, MYB, PROM2, CHMP5, ULK1, AKR1C2, TGFBR1, TMBIM4, MLLT1, HIF1A, LINC00336, IL33, SLC38A1, and CISD1) in the blood data were identified as target genes by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis (LASSO), in which gene signature could differentiate ALS patients from controls. This evidence concerns the gene GABARAPL2 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
