The National ALS Registry "is a program to collect, manage and analyze data about persons with ALS (PALS). It includes data from existing national databases and information provided by persons with ALS who choose to participate. Researchers can use Registry data to look for disease pattern changes over time and try to identify whether there are common risk factors among PALS."
