Expression Profile Study of Macrophages From Patients Affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Other Related Motor Impairments

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The aim of this project is to analyze the macrophage transcriptome and protein markers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients compared to controls (non-affected individuals, patients with other motor impairments) and asymptomatic ALS gene carriers, to find new pathways for therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers.
