All forms of ALS are caused by a protein recycling system in the neurons of the spinal cord and brain that breaks down.

About 30,000 americans have ALS disease, and 3,000 to 5,000 new cases of people are diagnosed each year.

No cure has yet been found for ALS. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first drug treatment for the disease (Rilutek). Riluzole is believed to reduce damage to motor neurons by decreasing the release of glutamate.
