Funded Activity Summary

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Motor Neuron Disease) is a rapid and fatal neurological condition. To date there is no consensus on where the disease process may start. We will study healthy carriers who carry the most common ALS gene mutation and follow them over a four year period and track the associated changes. We will be using specialized neurophysiological tests to evaluate these patients and we hope to localize where the initiating problem with ALS patients may start.
