Modeling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With Fibroblasts
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease in adults. This longitudinal study involves three cohorts of participants: patients with sporadic or hereditary ALS, asymptomatic individuals carrying pathogenic mutations responsible for ALS, and control subjects. In this study, a skin biopsy and blood sampling will be performed at the initial visit (M0), then at M12 (+/- 2 months) for patients, and at M36 (+/- 12 months) for asymptomatic carriers of pathogenic mutations. The aim of this research is to model ALS pathology using fibroblasts derived from the patients' skin biopsies.
