It is both debilitating and fatal, typically occurring later in life.

Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in ALS patients. Despite the generally grim prognosis, there is significant variability in survival rates. As many as 10% of individuals with ALS manage to live more than eight years following the emergence of initial symptoms. Genetic risk factors include gene mutations such as SOD1, TARDBP, FUS, C9orf72, TBK1, and NEK1. Most of these risk factors have been uncovered within the past decade. Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved seven drugs for the treatment of ALS and its associated symptoms....
