<p> This is an exciting moment in the field of neuro-genetics. Advances in gene therapy are opening up new avenues to treating certain genetic forms of otherwise fatal and incurable diseases like ALS and dementia. This may give genetics a bigger role in the daily clinical practice of many adult neurologists. Today we'll learn about this frontier in neuro-genetics from Dr. Bryan Traynor at the National Institute on Aging. He was interviewed by ANA member and neuromuscular specialist at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Ricardo Roda. Series 1, Episode 14</p>

ANA Investigates ALS

At a time when support for basic and translational science needs a strong voice and the burden of neurological disease is growing, the ANA is the champion of neurological research and the ally of all physicians and scientists who strive to make a difference through careers that combine discovery, education, and clinical care.

From advances in stroke and dementia to movement disorders and epilepsy, the American Neurological Association has been at the forefront of research and practice since 1875 as the premier professional society of academic neurologists and neuroscientists devoted to understanding and treating diseases of the nervous system.
