Autonomic failure in ALS with a novel SOD1 gene mutation
2000
Article abstract The authors report a patient with ALS and a novel SOD1 gene mutation who was in the totally locked-in state and developed autonomic failure followed by sudden cardiac arrest. A neuropathologic study showed widespread multisystem degeneration, including involvement of the autonomic nuclei in the medulla and spinal cord. SOD1 gene analysis detected a missense mutation of V118L in exon 4. These findings show notable phenotypic heterogeneity for SOD1 -associated ALS.
