ALS and SMA

Charlie Rose Show today about people people suffering with these painful and fatal diseases. A dozen different genes are involved with ALS, although it is usually contracted and not inherited from routes that are not fully understood. If anyone can come up with a cure for some of the diseases effects or causes, there is a one million dollar reward. SMA is an inherited disease that can have three levels of severity, and is contracted at birth. Gene therapy and other cures are hoped to be discovered for these diseases.
