Hi,
This is my first post so please excuse the novice approach.
I am aged 43 with bulbar onset ALS with first symptoms being about 1 year ago.
My Mother died of MND aged 65, her case being legs onset.
I have recently been tested for SOD1 mutation and the result has come back negative.
So my question simply is am I more likely to be Sporadic or Familial. Or to put it another way how common are cases/families such as mine?
I guess it is also possible (just) that my Mother did not have MND - it was a difficult diagnosis.
