In the vast majority of cases of MND, there is no history of the disease in any of the immediate family members (grandparents, parents, brothers or sisters). This is called sporadic MND, because the disease appears for no apparent reason. However, in about 10% of cases, family history of the disease indicates that inherited genetic damage causes the condition; this is termed familial MND.
