Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is an irreversible disease that is caused by the degeneration and death of motor neurons. Approximately 5–10% of cases are familial ALS (fALS), and the other cases are sporadic ALS (sALS). Gene mutations have been identified both in fALS and sALS patients. In this study, we discuss the four ALS-related genes, C9orf72, SOD1, FUS, and TARDBP, and review the microRNAs (miRNAs) that are associated with ALS and other neurological disorders from the literature. A phylogenetic analysis is used to explore potential miRNAs that can be taken More >
