This paper describes the genetic etiology of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a single population. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sample sequencing of 3 common gene variants (C282Y and H63D and S65C) were performed on 10 randomly selected samples of H63D gene variant (124 patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and 10 wild types of H63D samples (210 controls). The C282Y and S65C gene variant were absent.

- C. jejuni lipo-oligosaccharides (LOS) mimic gangliosides, potentially leading to autoantibody production and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
- Different C. jejuni strains show significant variation in LOS biosynthesis, allowing classification of eight GBS-associated strains from HeBei into four classes.
- The type of LOS structure (sialylated vs. non-sialylated) influences the likelihood of developing GBS.

Objective: To search the marker proteins of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)-associated Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) by comparing the protein maps of GBS-associated C. jejuni strains with that of non-GBS-associated C.
