Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disorder that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It can cause muscle weakness, paralysis, and loss of movement. The symptoms grow worse over time. Half of all people with ALS live only 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. Current drug treatments can slow the progress of the disease, but they cannot stop or reverse it.
Background: Neurodegenerative disorders can lead to problems in movement or memory. Some can cause abnormal proteins to build up in brain cells. Researchers want to understand whether these diseases have related causes or risk factors.
