ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord

Mutations in the SOD1 gene are responsible for approximately 2% of all cases of the disease

The deal follows the companies’ earlier partnership to advance candidates for the neurodegenerative disease

The neurodegenerative disease affects approximately 30,000 people in the US

The technique could lead to safer and more effective gene therapies for the neurodegenerative disease

The rare neurodegenerative disease affects one in every 300 people in the UK

The partnership will speed up the discovery of treatments and insights for MND

The project will chart the psychological impacts of having a genetic predisposition to ALS

Mutations in the SOD1 gene are responsible for approximately 2% of all cases

The neurodegenerative disease affects approximately 27,000 people in the US

The pledged funding is being placed into the hands of researchers ‘as quickly as possible’
