Join us on Thursday April 9, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Join ALS Canada, the National ALS Genetics Counsellor and community members for the ALS Canada Webinar: Genetics & ALS.
In this session, participants will learn:
- what genetics means in the context of the disease;
- how genetic testing works; and
- what to expect when exploring genetic testing or counselling.
The session will highlight credible resources, tools, and supports available to help individuals and families navigate genetics information with confidence. Participants will also hear a community member’s experience and perspective of navigating SOD1-ALS within her family.
Please note that ALS Canada does not provide medical advice or make referrals related to drug therapies or alternative therapies. These questions should be discussed directly with a medical professional – ideally an ALS neurologist, who would be qualified to interpret clinical information for individual situations.
