Research published today in Neuron has identified that mistakes in a gene called VCP can cause an inherited (familial) form of MND.
This is the third gene this year that has been identified as a cause of familial MND which really shows the ‘snowballing’ speed that genetic research is taking. Read about this on our press release: http://bit.ly/dXcjE4
We are the Research team at the MND Association, and we’re passionate about sharing the latest developments in MND research through the Association’s blog. With scientific backgrounds across our team, we look for important research updates and translate complex science into clear, engaging and accessible information for the MND community. We hope our blogs help you feel informed and inspired by the progress being made in MND research around the world.
