General Discussion
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that causes progressive degeneration and eventual loss of function of both upper and lower motor neurons resulting in progressive skeletal muscular wasting and weakness.

These include: Slow Motor Neuron Disease, Focal Motor Neuron Disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Kugelberg-Welander Disease and Juvenile Spinal Muscular Atrophy), Progressive Bulbar Palsy, Benign Focal Amyotrophy, Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Infantile Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Werdnig-Hoffmann Disease), Wohlfart- Kugelberg-Welander Disease, and Floppy Infant Syndrome.
