I'm annoyed by the poor wording in that quote, as it seems to imply that a parent with a gene will definitely pass it on to their child. This is incorrect. There is a great reference here about ALS, and the genetics of it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1450/. Hopefully the information in there is not too technical.

The gist is, only 10% of ALS cases are thought to be familial. (And of those cases, there are multiple gene mutations on different chromosomes that cause the disorder, though SOD1 on chromosome 21 appears to be the most common.) Apart from rare juvenile disorders, these are inherited in a dominant pattern, meaning even if your father was in the 10% of patients with a familial disorder, you would only have a 50% chance of inheriting that gene. (Your father had two chromosomes, and only one had the mutation. It's random chance which one you received.)

I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully this information will help you feel a bit better about your personal health situation. If you continue to have concerns, consider talking to your doctor and getting a referral to a genetic counsellor. They can discuss if there are any testing options available to you.
