ALS Study Finds Gene Mutation’s Toxic Effects Might Be Countered by an Associated Protein
Aggregates of dipeptide repeat proteins produced by the mutant gene C9orf72 — the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — are toxic to neurons through interactions with a protein intended to clear cells of defective proteins, scientists reported. The findings provide a very specific focus for future drug…

ALS Gene Drives Disease Development Through Neuroinflammation, Researchers Find
Mutations in the C9orf72 gene are the most common genetic cause leading to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite this, researchers have not been able to determine what the normal function of the gene really is. Now, scientists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles have revealed that the gene contributes to…
7 Ways to Diagnose ALS
ALS can be very difficult to diagnose since there isn’t a specific procedure or test to ultimately establish the ALS diagnosis. It is only through several diagnostic tests (often used to rule out other diseases that mimic ALS) and a thorough clinical examination that a diagnosis can be established. According to the…
