ALS caused by mutations of this gene affect diverse ethnicities. The average age of onset is age 43 with a survival time of about 33-41 months.

This mutation accounts for about 3-5% of familial ALS cases.
When these cells die, voluntary muscle control and movement dies with them. Patients in the later stages of the disease are totally paralyzed, yet in most cases, their minds remain sharp and alert. Every day, an average of 15 people are newly diagnosed with ALS â more than 5,600 people per year. As many as 30,000 Americans may currently be affected by ALS. Annually, ALS is responsible for two deaths per 100,000 people. The average life expectancy of a person with ALS is two to five years from time of diagnosis.
