Profilin1 E117G is a moderate risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Axon outgrowth inhibition was observed, but did not reach statistical significance, and actin binding appeared to be normal. 4 In summary, functional characterisation of the E117G variant shows lesser changes than clear PFN1 pathogenic mutations, but supports a possible role as risk factor for ALS.
