For more then two decades, Dr. Guy Rouleau and his lab at
the University of Montreal have put a continuous effort into the identification
of genes causing ALS. The success of this research is largely dependent on
generous voluntary blood sample collection from families with affected
individuals. Sample collection is instrumental in discovering new genes
responsible for ALS. Individuals that have ALS with or without a family history
of the disease are invited to contribute to our study. This is a confidential
process and packages with instructions will be sent to all individuals who are
interested in participating.
Help us expand our knowledge of the genes which lead to ALS. For more
information, or to contribute, contact sample co-ordinator Isabelle Thibault
