Reproductive decision-making among individuals at risk for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

This qualitative study explored the reproductive decision-making process in individuals at 50% risk for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) from families with a known genetic mutation. We spoke with 10 individuals utilizing a semi-structured interview. Participants had a first-degree relative with FALS, made reproductive decisions in the past 30 years and did not know their genetic status during decision-making.
