Clinical and prognostic features of ALS/MND in different phenotypes-data from a hospital-based registry.

CONCLUSIONS: This study showed the natural history data of ALS/MND and supported the theory that varied disease phenotypes had different clinical, demographic and prognostic characteristics, which provided the basis for analysis of future management and treatment for ALS/MND. Furthermore, the phenotypic expression of ALS/MND with distinctive characteristics is important for providing complementary information for identifying the underlying mechanisms of the diseases.
