> "That means that if you live long enough, you will get ALS." We don't simply don't know that. There is an incredibly wide spectrum of phenotypes, even for SOD1 mutations (~2 of cases) the life span could be as short as 6 months and as large as 25 years. There are ~120 gene mutations that are incriminated in what scientists call ALS. Each of them has dozens alleles on average. In addition there are associations between ALS and dozens of occupations, and exposure to thousands of substances. The scientists tell of multi-step diseases. You are only right in the sense that we will all die at the end.
