Hello Everyone.
My link to this disease is my Grandmother died 20 years ago from als, now my Aunt has just been dx with this. Apparently this only happens 5-10% of the time. Does anyone know about familier ALS ? Excuse me if I am not referring to it the right way. Is there any testing that myself or any of my other family members have done to see if we should be concerned with another repeat. Presently I am helping care for my Aunt who lives approx 1 hour away from me in a small rural town. Not alot help is avail. Any suggestions? I am quite open for suggestions.
