Heterogeneity of frequencies of motor neuron disease across ethnicities and geographical areas: focus on Arabic countries in the Mediterranean area

Strengthening national registries and promoting regional collaborations will be crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of the determinants of ALS in these underrepresented populations.
