Features That May Make Motor Neurons Vulnerable to ALS

Motor neurons are distinguished by a set of genes that may enable the large size of the motor neuron cell body and lengthy axon, but also underlie their vulnerability to degeneration. Their molecular profile was defined by genes involved in cytoskeletal structure, which gives the cell shape and organizes the structures within; neurofilament genes related to cell size; and genes linked to the onset of ALS.

Hearing of the passing of Doddie Weir from MND at the ridiculously young age of 52 brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of my father's death from that same hellish condition 33 years ago. (He⁹ was 62 years old when he died - prime of life.)
Deepest sympathies to Doddie's family. . .
