One Australian dies of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) every day. MND is likely to be due to a genetic susceptibility to an environmental agent such as a toxin or a virus. Recent advances in gene therapy have emphasised the urgent need to find the gene abnormalities in MND. We propose to set up an Australia-wide DNA Bank for MND to allow researchers to look for genetic abnormalities and environmental influences in this disease.

每天都有一个澳大利亚人死于运动神经元病。MND很可能是由于对毒素或病毒等环境因素的遗传易感性所致。基因治疗的最新进展强调了发现MND中基因异常的迫切需要。我们建议为MND建立一个澳大利亚范围的DNA银行，使研究人员能够寻找这种疾病的遗传异常和环境影响。
