dc.description.abstractObjective: to look for genetic links between cases of MND. Method: to search for ancestors of Maltese cases dying in Malta and Australia and to record dispensations for consanguineous marriages. Results: the median age of death was similar in both countries and in Malta was similar for men and women. Almost 45 % of the cases were related to one or more other cases: however, more than half were sporadic and widely dispersed. Conclusions: MND is not affected by emigration to the southern hemisphere and different life styles. Many MNDs are related and may represent a sub-group.en_GB
