## Resource

Moderator: Cláudia Santos Silva (Lisbon, Portugal) Guest: Andrea Calvo (Turin, Italy) In this episode, Cláudia Santos Silva speaks with Andrea Calvo about the genetics of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They discuss the shared genetic basis of these disorders, key disease-associated genes, and the role of genetic testing, counselling, and result interpretation in clinical practice, highlighting how genetic discoveries are advancing precision medicine and emerging gene-targeted therapies in ALS and FTD.
