causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

The cause of ALS is currently unknown. Researchers and scientists are currently examining a number of possible causes, including glutamate, autoimmune responses, the environment and genetic mutations. In 10% of patients with ALS there is a family history of the disease. Approximately 20% of these familial cases of ALS have a specific gene, called superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) which is abnormal. This gene can be detected for through a blood test. Future research may show that there are many other causes of ALS.
