IGF2 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Leveraging additional publicly available ALS and AD proteomic datasets, we validated our ALS CSF network and identified ALS-specific proteins within Module 5 (M5)-Extracellular matrix (e.g., IGF2, RARRES2, LGALS3, GALNT15, and LYZ) and shared biomarkers across neurodegenerative diseases linked to Module 10 (M10)-Ubiquitination/Gluconeogenesis (e.g., NEFL, NEFM, CHIT1, and CHI3L1).
