    ALS is the most common form of the motor neuron diseases. [8] ALS often presents in its early stages with gradual muscle stiffness, twitches, weakness, and wasting. [3] Motor neuron loss typically continues until the abilities to eat, speak, move, and, lastly, breathe are all lost. [3]

    Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, whose ALS was diagnosed in 1963, had the disease for 55 years, the longest recorded time one had the disease. He died at the age of 76 in 2018. The 11th century monk Hermann of Reichenau had a lifelong disease that is considered likely to have been ALS. This would make him one of the earliest known patients of ...

    About 95% of ALS patients have abnormalities in the nucleus-cytoplasmic localization in spinal motor neurons of TDP43. In TDP-43 depleted human neural stem cell-derived motor neurons, as well as in sporadic ALS patients' spinal cord specimens there is significant double-strand break accumulation and reduced levels of NHEJ.

    The first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of ALS was published in 2007, and 14 GWASs total had been published through 2013. They have contributed significantly to our understanding of ALS genetics; for example, a 2010 GWAS studying ALS in Finland led to discovery of the role of mutations at the C9orf72 locus in ALS. However, a gene ...

  9. ALS Functional Rating Scale - Revised - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALS_Functional_Rating...

    In ALS the main type of onset is bulbar followed by limb-onset ALS which describes the region of motor neurons first affected. [3] Individuals may also present with respiratory-onset ALS, [7] but this occurs very rarely. Since there are three different types of ALS, ALSFRS-R scores are often grouped in categories depending on type of onset. [7]
