We are currently waiting on the genetic testing results for my Dad. He was diagnosed with ALS at 71 but had symptoms a year before that. At first we thought it was just sporadic, no family history that we know of. My grandmother died at 70 of cancer. However, my Dad's sister has FTD, diagnosed about 7 years ago in her mid 50s.
Am I right in assuming because there is ALS and FTD in one generation this is considered FALS?
I am early 40s with 2 small children and very frightened about what the results might bring.
