#ALS researchers have discovered a new ALS gene, “TUB4A,” that encodes the tubulin 4A protein, which is part of the microtubule “cytoskeleton” of every cell, including motor neurons, the cells that die in ALS. In the study, the researchers identified several variants in the TUB4A gene in six ALS cases and demonstrated in cell culture that these variants caused defects in microtubule structure and transport. ow.ly/DaYe3
