Popis: Abstract Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, incurable neurodegenerative disease. A subset of ALS patients manifests with early‐onset and complex clinical phenotypes. We aimed to elucidate the genetic basis of these cases to enhance our understanding of disease etiology and facilitate the development of targeted therapies. Methods Our research commenced with an in‐depth genetic and biochemical investigation of two specific families, each with a member diagnosed with early‐onset ALS (onset age of
