Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
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 HFE 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. There were 24 cases (7.18%) with H63D heterozygous variants, including 16 cases (13%) in the sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis group and 8 cases (4%) in the healthy control group. The polymorphism frequency of the H63D gene variant in the sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis group was significantly different than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the difference at allele level, which is still more significant (P < 0.05). H63D gene variant could be a risk factor for sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a single population. The results showed HFE gene variants play a role in the occurrence of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but its effect should be carefully estimated.
