AMYOTROPHIC lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disorder of motor neurons in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord1,2. Its cause is unknown and it is uniformly fatal, typically within five years3. About 10% of cases are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with high penetrance after the sixth decade4,5. In most instances, sporadic and autosomal dominant familial ALS (FALS) are clinically similar4,6,7. We have previously shown that in some but not all FALS pedigrees the disease is… CONTINUE READING

Observational Clinical Trial
We are collecting blood samples, clinical and family information from ALS (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis) patients and their families to identify causes of ALS and ALS/dementia.
