Abstract
Purpose Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative motor neuron disease (MND) with heterogeneity in disease onset, progression and treatment response. The Strategic ALS Australia–Systems Genomics Consortium (SALSA-SGC) was established in recognition of the need for large data sets of clinical data matched with biological samples to enable and foster ALS research and better understanding of aetiology and biological mechanisms. SALSA-SGC brought together the major Australian MND clinics to set up sustainable infrastructure that could facilitate long-term human ALS research and clinical trials nationally and internationally.
