Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Motor Neuron Disease) is a rapid and fatal neurological condition. To date there is no consensus on where the disease process may start. We will study healthy carriers who carry the most common ALS gene mutation and follow them over a four year period and track the associated changes. We will be using specialized neurophysiological tests to evaluate these patients and we hope to localize where the initiating problem with ALS patients may start.

肌萎缩侧索硬化症（也称为运动神经元疾病）是一种快速和致命的神经系统疾病。迄今为止，对于疾病进程可能从何开始尚无共识。我们将研究携带最常见的ALS基因突变的健康携带者，并对他们进行为期四年的跟踪，追踪相关变化。我们将使用专门的神经生理学测试来评估这些患者，我们希望定位ALS患者的初始问题可能从哪里开始。
