Brief Summary

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding ALS

Detailed Description

The goal of this Research Study is to better understand how the genetic information in subject's microbiome correlates to the information provided in surveys and in medical records regarding ALS

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Correlation of Microbiome to ALS via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing	The identification of bacterial species residing the gut flora will be processed by next generation sequencing followed by metagenomic analysis. Bacterial diversity will then be evaluated in parallel with relative abundance of targeted species within and among individual microbes. In other words, in patients with ALS a specific microbe or class of microbes might represent a larger percentage of the microbiome when compared to healthy individuals. There could also be a higher or lower Shannon Index.	One year

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Validation of Sequencing Methods	To validate the methods used to sequence sample	One year
