(Sorry for lots of text - incorrect basic genetics makes me twitch.)

Basic Genetics 101 (in simplified terms):

You have two copies of every gene, one coming from your father and one from your mother. This means you inherit only one of each parent's two copies.

A dominant gene means that no matter what the other copy of the gene you have is, the attribute connected with the dominant gene will be the one that manifests. With recessive genes, both copies must be the recessive gene in order for it to manifest. (This can get a whole lot more complicated when there are more than two options for an attribute or more than one gene contributes to an attribute - like skin tone.)

Why does this matter? If both of a parent's copies of the gene is the dominant one - then yes, there's a 100% chance that his child will also have ALS. However (and what is more common), if the parent only has one copy of the dominant ALS gene, then the odds drop to 50% that his child will inherit the dominant ALS gene.

/unsolicited genetics info

Either way, ALS sucks.
