First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study takes skin biopsies and blood samples from people with ALS, healthy carriers of ALS-related gene mutations, and control subjects. Researchers will grow skin cells in the lab to study how the disease works at a cellular level. The goal is to better understand ALS, not to test a new drug or treatment.
