Study population: The study aims to include an estimated 1000 ALS patients in China.

Brief summary: This study takes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients as the main research object. Through collecting genetics, imaging and clinical symptoms for Exploratory research, we will construct the gene spectrum of ALS in China, explore unknown pathogenic genes, explore the characteristic image characteristics of ALS, and establish the iPSCs library of ALS, providing resources and basis for the research of pathogenesis and treatment targets of ALS.

Detailed description: This study is a multicenter, prospective registration study that will follow up patients with clinically confirmed and suspected amyotrophic lateral sclerosis for a period of 2 years. A total of 1000 patients will be included to dynamically observe the changes in clinical symptoms and signs, imaging, electrophysiology, biomarkers, biological samples and so on, which will construct a genetic profile of ALS in China, explore the etiology and pathogenesis, and establish an iPSCs library, provide a basis for finding treatment targets.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years old ≤ age ≤ 80 years old;
* Patients are diagnosed definite or probable ALS according to the Awaji diagnostic criteria;
* Sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Unable to cooperate with research or complete follow-up due to geographical or other reasons.
