This sounds interesting. Could anyone with a bit more experience in the field of ALS research evaluate how promising this discovery is?

It's not a full diagnosis yet, as I am getting bloodwork done on Monday and will have to wait for those results.
But I'm really scared right now so I would appreciate any insight you all can give me.
I'm in Buenos Aires, and my docs speak English, but I think they may use some terms...
