Some questions:
How can a region with around 50000 habitants has over 20 ALS cases at all time? And why is that region not being studied more?
In New-Brunswick, Canada, around Bathurst, there are 24 diagnose ALS persons. One of them is my Mother in Law (diagnose a year ago and can't talk/eat/walk already!). Actually, they had a meeting the other day and 7 of them was there and they were all from a region of around 6000 habitants. 7 out of 6000! Isn't that alot?
I was thinking ... maybe this kind of information can be of importance for researchers?
