Sex-specific risk loci and modified MEF2C expression in ALS

Ross Patrick Byrne, Wouter van Rheenen, Tomás DS Gomes…·Russell Lewis McLaughlin

The paper identifies sex-specific risk loci for ALS, including MEF2C, which is upregulated in female ALS motor neurons, and an X-chromosome locus at IL1RAPL2.
