Brief Summary: The ALL ALS Clinical Research Consortium is establishing research to collect a wide range of samples clinical information and measurements from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS symptomatic ALS gene carriers and control cohorts This consortium is begin funded by the National Institutes of HealthNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke NIHNINDS and managed by two clinical coordinating centers CCC at Barrow Neurological Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital The clinical sites are distributed across the country and led by a group of collaborative principal investigators Once data and samples are collected and harmonized it will be made available to research community for future research into ALS and related neurological diseases
PREVENT protocol is specific for asymptomatic participants who are genetically at risk for ALS The participants will be followed for upto 36 months 3 years and will include 4 in-person on-site visits once a year and 6 off-siteremote visits once in 4 months The study includes collection of medical history clinical outcomes and blood samples once in 4 months Additionally the participants will complete patient reported outcomes and speech recordings once in 4 months Participants may also provide optional Cerebrospinal Fluid CSF samplesThe participants may also opt into a sub-study if they are interested in genetic testing for ALS causative genes The sub-study will involve a minimum of 3 visits over a course of 2-3 months This will include a screeningpre-test genetic counseling visit a return of genetic results and a post-test counseling visit
