Official Title: Answer ALS -Creation of a Large Bio-repository of iPS Cells, Cell Lines, and Bio-fluid Samples, Combined With Clinical Information to Rapidly Advance Therapeutics That Could Treat ALS
Brief Summary: Creation of a large repository of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), bio-fluid samples (blood and spinal fluid (optional)), and cell lines for ALS gene identification. This will be combined carefully with collected measures of the pattern of the symptoms people with ALS have and how these change over time. People with other motor neuron diseases and healthy controls will be included as comparisons
