Researchers at the University of Toronto have uncovered new insights on the genetic causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. These findings could uncover a new way to detect a genetic predisposition to ALS before the disease strikes. The team state that a common mutation associated with ALS is an unstable repeated DNA sequence within the C9orf72 gene that could … Continue reading Human generational study pinpoints epigenetic cause of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
