Clinical Trials of Therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This Viewpoint discusses amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as a syndrome rather than a single disease that requires varied diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
View ArticleHeritability of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This Viewpoint discusses different techniques for estimating the heritability of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
View ArticleDiabetes Mellitus, Obesity, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This population-based case-control study investigates the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis associated with diabetes and obesity among Danish individuals.
View ArticleTransglutaminase 6 Antibodies in the Serum of Patients With ALS
This case-control study suggests that an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis syndrome might be associated with autoimmunity and gluten sensitivity.
View ArticleBiogenesis and Myogenesis in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
This review of oxidative metabolism in biopsy samples finds that an altered regulation of myogenesis and a downregulated mitochondrial biogenesis contribute to pathologic change in the muscle of...
View ArticleEffect of Presymptomatic Dietary Intake on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This case-control study evaluates the association of premorbid body mass index, dietary intake of fat, and alcohol use with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
View ArticleCortical Function and C9orf72 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This study investigates whether cortical hyperexcitability forms the pathophysiological basis of c9orf72 familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using the threshold-tracking transcranial magnetic...
View ArticleCortical Hyperexcitability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease of the motor nervous system. While most cases are sporadic, approximately 5% to 10% of cases are familial and result from mutation in 1 of...

This review article describes rare localizations of peripheral neuropathy, including the appropriate diagnostic evaluation and available treatments.
View ArticlePhysical Activity and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Mortality in Women
This cohort study uses data from the Women’s Health Initiative to evaluate whether physical activity is associated with risk of death from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis among postmenopausal women.
View ArticleStem Cell Transplantation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
These 2 open-label proof-of-concept studies aim to determine the safety and possible clinical efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cell–neurotrophic growth factor cell transplantation in patients...
View ArticleRole of APOE in the Occurrence of Frontotemporal Dementia in ALS
This study assesses the influence of the APOE and C9ORF72 genotypes on cognitive impairment in a population-based series of Italian patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
View ArticleEnvironmental Toxins and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This case-control study evaluates the association of exposures to environmental toxins with the odds of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
View ArticleThe Role of Environmental Toxins in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Risk
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that carries a high degree of disability and eventually leads to respiratory failure. The incidence of ALS is estimated to...
