Abstract

The aim of this thesis was to identify new genetic susceptibility factors, describe the
genetic architecture of ALS and explore the utility of gene expression profiles as a
biomarker for ALS. Following the technical advances over time, this thesis includes single
gene studies, genome-wide associations studies (GWAS), transcriptome analyses and
whole genome sequencing studies. Leveraged together, they have led to several
conclusions and perspectives.
