Furthermore, approximately 90% of all cases of ALS occur sporadically (no family history associated), while 10% of ALS cases are familial and usually associated with dominantly inherited autosomal mutations that occur in distinct genes, including superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), C9orf72, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) genes [15]. This evidence concerns the gene TARDBP and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
