  • Variants that were significantly associated with Australian SALS are indicated in bold.

  • *These variants had MAF >0.2 among gnomAD non-neuro NFE controls and were removed from further analysis as common variants.

  • gnomAD, Genome Aggregation Database; MAF, minor allele frequency; N/A, not available; NFE, non-Finnish European; SALS, sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
