So there were seven genes known and we wound up finding 690 genes.
And that's true with these new AI methods we have for analyzing genomes.
And it explains a lot more what's called the heritability of the disease.
And then, yeah, and that's how I got into it.
I mean, there still is no cure for ALS.
And how to modify lifestyle, I don't know.
But I do know I'm on sabbatical at UC Irvine right now.
And there's people who are trying to take this sort of thing on.

But whether that helps you predict, I don't know.
So I think it's still...
Yeah, not very much known there, at least not to me.
You may know more than I do.
Yeah, of course, there's motor neurons for ALS versus others.
Right, motor neurons for ALS.
So I don't know how similar or different.
But, you know.
Back to behavioral modification.
Yeah, exactly.
