By assessing ALS mutation carriers (C9orf72, SOD1, and TARDBP), sporadic ALS and controls identified several proteins that were upregulated, including UCHL1, MAP2, CAPG, GPNMB, HIST1H4A, HIST1H2B, NEFL, NEFH, NEFM, CHIT1, and CHI3L1 in both spinal cord and CSF in ALS [52]. Here, MAP2 is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
