Site of onset (region in which first symptoms occurred): bulbar onset, spinal onset. Age: years. Disease duration: time from diagnosis until death in months. Fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS), chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72). The postmortem delay for ALS patients and controls was of 8 ± 2 h.
