<h4>Methods</h4>  We employed tandem mass tag mass spectrometry (TMT-MS) based proteomics on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify and quantify 2105 proteins from ALS patients with sporadic disease (n=35), C9orf72 ALS (n=10), and SOD1 ALS (n=6), as well as age-matched healthy controls (n=44) and asymptomatic C9orf72 carriers (n=6). Here, C9orf72 is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
