Abstract
Mutations in the MATR3 gene were just recently identified to cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and their role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in various populations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and spectrum of mutations in MATR3 in a Taiwanese ALS cohort of Han Chinese origin. Mutational analyses of MATR3 were carried out by direct nucleotide sequencing in a cohort of 207 unrelated patients with ALS. Among them, the genetic diagnoses of 169 patients remained elusive after mutations in SOD1, C9ORF72, TARDBP, FUS, ATXN2, OPTN, VCP, UBQLN2, SQSTM1, PFN1, HNRNPA1, and HNRNPA2B1 had been excluded. We identified 1 heterozygous missense mutation, p.Ala72Thr (c.214G>A), in 1 patient with bulbar-onset and apparently sporadic ALS. The frequency of MATR3 mutations in ALS patients in Taiwan is, therefore, approximately 0.5% (1 of 207). This study reports a novel MATR3 mutation and stresses on the importance to consider MATR3 mutation as a possible etiology of ALS.
