Overview
The goal of this observational study is to identify molecular features in multiple clinical samples and/or the patient environment that are associated with ALS. Participants will collect biological samples and answer questionnaires regarding their health at each appointment with their ALS practitioner.
Primary outcome measures
- Molecular features of biological samples that are predictive of ALS progression [Time frame: We will collect samples and health data from each participant from the time of diagnosis to their death or study termination, whichever comes sooner. Specific time frame: We will collect outcome measures through study completion, an average of 3 years.]
