Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in an Egyptian cohort
Our cohort was characterized by a younger age of onset, male predominance, more familial cases, within average Initial ALSFRS-R scores as well as diagnostic delay. Juvenile ALS patients were much more common in our population. These findings suggest an influential presence of genetic and epigenetic factors affecting the clinical phenotype of Egyptian ALS patients.
