Thanks to new technology, it has become easier for researchers to look for subtle genetic variations that may make a person more vulnerable to MND. Finding such variations could point to possible treatment strategies and may even provide clues to some of the environmental factors associated with the disease. Various studies are underway around the world to hunt for these genetic variations, using DNA samples from people with MND.One of these projects, which is partly funded by the MND Association, is using DNA samples from the Association’s DNA Bank.
