downregulated in ALS muscle and spinal cord; early altered in SOD1G93A mouse muscle
hsa_circ_0000033 is selectively downregulated in ALS skeletal muscle (CEP85 mRNA unchanged) and also reduced in ALS spinal cord; its mouse ortholog is altered already at the presymptomatic stage, suggesting early association with disease progression. Mechanism was not defined.
