For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), see ALS1 (105400).
Sapp et al. (2003) performed a genetic linkage screen in 16 U.S. pedigrees with familial ALS and no evidence for mutations in the SOD1 gene (147450). In 1 of the 16 families, they identified a novel ALS locus, designated ALS7, spanning a 6.25-cM (1-Mb) region on chromosome 20p. A multipoint lod score calculated for this family had a peak value of 3.46 at D20S103. In another family, Sapp et al. (2003) identified a novel ALS locus on chromosome 16 (ALS6; 608030).

Dear OMIM User,
To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90% of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the information that you need at your fingertips.
Thank you in advance for your generous support,
Ada Hamosh, MD, MPH
