One of the trends in ALS research is looking at populations where there are pockets of the population where incidence of the disease is higher and not genetically linked. According to the article the incidence of ask among plant workers and residents was statistically higher than the general pop particularly in years when the plants were at high levels of production.
With research into a cure focused on genetic factors, findings like these could change the way they look at the disease. For example if non genetic cases result from injury to the body/brain/nervous system, perhaps the cure could be found in mitigating that trauma.
There is a scientist looking into a toxin created in blue-green algae, which has effected the island population of Guam. The indigenous population has 100 times the incidence of ALS and Parkinson's disease. When their diet became westernized and they stopped eating a particular seed the cases of the diseases markedly declined.
That's all I know. These damned research papers are so difficult to understand without a science background.
