Whole exome sequencing focused on 60 genes causative of monogenic neurodegenerative diseases (APP, ATP1A3, CCNF, CHCHD10, CHCHD2, CHMP2B, COL4A1, CSF1R, CYLD, DCTN1, DNAJC13, DNMT1, FUS, GCH1, GRN, HNRNPA1, HNRNPA2B1, ITM2B, LRRK2, MAPT, MATR3, NOTCH3, PRKAR1B, PRNP, PSEN1, PSEN2, SERPINI1, SNCA, SNCB, SQSTM1, TARDBP, TBK1, TIA1, TMEM230, TUBA4A, VCP, VPS35, ATP13A2, DNAJC6, FBXO7, HTRA1, OPTN, PANK2, PARK2, PARK7, PINK1, PLA2G6, SPG11, SYNJ1, TH, TREM2, TYROBP, VPS13C, POLG, ATP6AP2, RAB39B, UBQLN2, GBA, APOE, PLCG2). Here, SQSTM1 is linked to neurodegenerative disease.
