Key Points

PDK1 may significantly influence amyotrophic lateral sclerosis development through dysregulation.
Increased PDK1 mRNA was observed across multiple models, confirming its role in ALS pathology.
Transcriptomic profiling reveals PDK1's involvement in crucial pathways linked to cell adhesion and Wnt signaling.
Identifying PDK1 as a risk factor could lead to new therapeutic strategies for managing ALS.

Implication

Multi-cohort analysis highlights PDK1's role in ALS risk, suggesting therapeutic avenues and mechanisms.
