Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a neurological disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, dysphagia, choking on liquids, and slurred speech. It is currently classified into two types: Sporadic ALS: This is the most common type, with an often sudden onset, accounting for approximately 95% of cases. Familial ALS: This type accounts for 5% to 10% of cases and is associated with heredity and gene mutations. ALS is clinically rare, with an age of onset typically between 30 and 60 years, and most cases occurring after 45 years of age. It is more common in males than in females.
