Hello
My grandfather on my dads side had als at age 54. He had 5 children, one of the daughters was diagnosed when she was 71. Her son was recently diagnosed at age 54. None of the other children or cousins have been diagnosed. I read on the forum that if a parent was diagnosed with als then the children have a 50% chance of getting it. Since my grandfather and Aunt and now my cousin have it. What are the chances of myself and cousins getting it? I am not aware if they done any genetic testing.
thank you and I pray for a cure soon.
