Pathogenic genetic variants remain the only validated cause of disease, the majority of which were discovered in familial ALS patients. While causal gene variants are a lesser contributor to sporadic ALS, an increasing number of risk alleles (low penetrance genetic variants associated with a small increase in disease risk) and variants of uncertain significance have been reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To examine the pathogenic potential of genetic variation in ALS, we sought to characterise variant- and gene-level attributes of previously reported ALS-implicated variants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A list of 1,087 genetic variants reported in ALS to March 2021 was compiled through comprehensive literature review. Individual variants were annotated using in silico tools and databases across variant features including pathogenicity scores, localisation to protein domains, evolutionary conservation, and minor allele frequencies. Gene level attributes of genic tolerance, gene expression in ALS-relevant tissues and gene ontology terms were assessed for 33 ALS genes. Statistical analysis was performed for each characteristic, and we compared the most penetrant variants found in familial cases with risk alleles exclusive to sporadic cases, to explore genetic variant features that associate with disease penetrance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We provide spreadsheet (hg19 and GRCh38) and variant call format (GRCh38) resources for all 1,087 reported ALS-implicated variants, including detailed summaries for each attribute.
