Motor Neuron Diseases (MNDs) such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Respiratory Distress Type 1 (SMARD1), Multisystem Proteinopathy (MSP), Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA), and ALS associated to Frontotemporal Dementia (ALS-FTD), have traditionally been studied as distinct entities, each one with unique genetic and clinical characteristics. Here, IGHMBP2 is linked to frontotemporal dementia.
