title: Studies of the coding region of the neuronal glutamate transporter gene in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
abstract: Studies of the coding region of the neuronal glutamate transporter of 6 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and 10 controls show an identical pattern of four reported amino acid variations. No mutations and polymorphisms were detected in 5 sporadic ALS patients and a single patient with the familial form of the disease.
