My father was recently diagnosed with ALS at age 55. There is no history in our family of but several members have died before the typical age of onset. 2 of his mom's sisters died of MS which I'm now wondering if that could have been a misdiagnosis. His dad died at 68, not from ALS or anything similar. His mom is still alive in her 70s with no ALS symptoms.
My question is: Is it possible for my dads ALS to be familial even though neither of his parents had it?
