Source:  Source of case population -> “CL” (clinic-based) or “PO” (population-based)
# Polys:  Number of polymorphisms tested per gene and per sample.
Onset Age and Age:  Onset Age and Age: Mean or median age at onset or examination, respectively.
DX:  Criteria used to determine ALS diagnosis -> "Escorial 1" (El Escorial World Federation of Neurology criteria, 1994), " Escorial 2" (Revised El Escorial World Federation of Neurology criteria, 1998), "Escorial 1+2" (El Escorial World Federation of Neurology criteria, 1994 and 1998), "Escorial" (Undefined El Escorial criteria), "Escorial+N" (Escorial Criteria, supported by neuropathological diagnosis), "O/M" (other/mixed), "Unknown" (Diagnostic criteria not specified).
Result:  Result: Overall conclusion reached by authors of the original publication (“positive” usually indicates significant association in at least one of the performed analyses, and “negative” indicates no evidence for significant association, while “trend” indicates results in between).
(-) :  No data provided.
