  • Genomic Assessment as a Tool for Biological Discovery-Tailored Treatment in ALS

    Posted by Richard on March 1, 2021 at 11:44 am

    Hi All,

    Came across a recently published article about the potential of genomic assessment as a tool for biological discovery and trial recruitment.  The article emphasizes the importance of genomic data to facilitate a “precision medicine” approach for treating ALS. Anyone have any thoughts on this initiative?

    Thanks,

    Very intersting article. My granddad had FTD and in the end he could neither swallow nor speak so even the symptoms are kind of related to ALS but with the science behind this makes even more sense. Though I guess finding a super pill for both neuro degenerative disorders seems far away to me. ALS itself seems like multiple disorders at once that perhaps need to be treated with many pills but this is just my simple guess as so many wrong mechanisms seems to go on in the brain/gut/microbiome of PALS.

    Regards
