CDC/ATSDR is funding ALS risk-factor research across four options: Option A backs research with strong existing evidence, such as known environmental or genetic risk factors or better data on e…
CDC/ATSDR research funding into ALS risk factors across four options: established environmental/genetic risk factors, new and exploratory risk-factor research, ALS risk in specific populations such as military veterans, and biological-sample analysis from the Guamanian ALS cluster for mechanism, biomarker and therapeutic-target research.
