==Overview==
Risk factors for the development of ALS include; possessing an inherited mutation in chromosome 21, being a child of someone diagnosed with familial ALS, prolonged exposure to a dietary neurotoxin found in the seed of the cycad plant, and being a military veteran.
==Risk Factors==
==Risk Factors==
*Defective [[mutation]] in chromosome 21, inherited in an [[autosomal dominant]] pattern.
There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
*The children of those diagnosed with familial ALS have a higher risk factor for developing the disease; however, those who have close family members diagnosed with sporadic ALS have no greater a risk factor than the general population.  
 
*Prolonged exposure to a dietary neurotoxin is one suspected risk factor in Guam; the neurotoxin is a compound found in the seed of the [[cycad]] ''[[Cycas circinalis]]'',<ref>Bains J, et al. (2002). &quot;Isolation of various forms of sterol beta-D-glucoside from the seed of Cycas circinalis: neurotoxicity and implications for ALS-parkinsonism dementia complex&quot;.<I>J. Neurochem</I>. <B>82</B>(3):516-28. PMID: 12153476.</ref> a tropical plant found in Guam, which was used in the human food supply during the 1950s and early 1960s.

*According to the [[ALS Association]], military veterans are at an increased risk of contracting ALS. In its report ALS in the Military,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.alsa.org/files/pdf/als_military_paper.pdf |title=ALS in the Military |accessdate=2008-05-01 |publisher=The [[ALS Association]] |date=2007-05-17}}</ref> the group pointed to an almost 60% greater chance of the disease in military veterans than the general population. For Gulf War veterans, the chance is seen as twice that of the general population in a joint study by the [[United States Department of Veterans Affairs|Veterans Affairs Administration]] and the DOD.
