Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It was noticed in the mid-1950s that the incidence of ALS and parkinsonism--dementia complex (PDC) were much higher on Guam than anywhere else in the world. In 1958, a registry of patients and controls was established to ascertain the familial and genetic aspects of these diseases. Patients and individually matched controls and their relatives were registered from 1958 to 1963. The registry was...
