My husbands father died of MND years ago & since losing a family friend recently to MND & also since the addition of a baby to our own family I thought it best that I research the level of hereditary risk of MND. I am however faced with such contradicting information about whether either my husband or my daughter are at risk. Some websites say that sporadic MND is 90 - 95% of cases yet another website said that a child of someone affected (ie my husband) has a 50% chance of contracting MND. Is there anyone who can please help me accurate information & is there a test that can be carried out to check for the MND carrier?
Thanks
