Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in understanding why some people with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) recover from the disease. A rare gene variant, IGFBP7, has been found to be 12 times more likely to occur in patients who recover from ALS compared to those whose condition continues to progress. This finding could lead to new treatment approaches for the devastating neurological disorder.
