MinE: International border-crossing genetic research for ALS KU Leuven
Although there are clear indications that hereditary risk factors form the basis of all forms of ALS (both familial ALS and sporadic ALS), many of these risk factors are unprecedented to date. To map these inherited risk factors, large-scale international research is required, comparing the genetic material of a large group of ALS patients with that of healthy control subjects. This is the objective of this project.
