Understand the evolution of genetics that may assist in the identification of individuals predisposed to the development of ALS 

Recall specific genes that have been identified and implicated, or linked, with the occurrence of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases 

Discuss the role of genetic testing in ALS and the strategy of targeting specific genes in the development of potential therapeutic treatments 

In this module, Robert Bowser, MD presents a genetic overview of ALS, including a historical review of DNA sequencing, and discusses the evolution of genetics that may assist in early identification for those predisposed to the development of ALS.
