Synonyms
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS 12 WITH OR WITHOUT FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA; OPTN-Related Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Summary

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-12 with or without frontotemporal dementia (ALS12) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by onset of ALS in adulthood. Rare patients may also develop frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns have been reported; there is also sporadic occurrence (summary by Maruyama et al., 2010 and Feng et al., 2019). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, see ALS1 (105400). [from OMIM]
