Scientists track genetic disease over time in search of clues
NCT ID NCT01925196
Summary
This study aimed to understand how symptoms develop and change over time in people with a specific genetic mutation (C9ORF72) that causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Researchers followed 50 adults with this mutation for up to three years, measuring their strength, movement, thinking, and memory. The goal was to gather detailed information to help identify future tests (biomarkers) that could detect or measure the progression of these diseases.
