A new longitudinal study involving carriers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations has identified a prodromal phase of ALS characterized by mild motor impairment. The findings could help us to define a time window during which neuroprotective interventions might be effective in patients with genetic forms of ALS.
