High incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the Faroe Islands 2010–2020
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51501
Abstract: The Faroese population isolate harbors epidemiological and genetic characteristics that likely differ from outbred populations. This population‐based register study found that the Faroese 2010–2020 crude incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was 4.9/100,000 person‐years (95% confidence… read more here.
