Summary

This study is testing whether measuring a specific protein, called P2X4, on blood cells can help doctors diagnose ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) more accurately. Researchers will compare P2X4 levels in 50 people with ALS to those in healthy volunteers. If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that speeds up diagnosis and helps track the disease.
