What's the difference between lou gehrig's disease and kennedy disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot: Lou gehrig's is als, and is much faster in progression. Only about 10% of ALS cases are genetic. Kennedy's disease is genetic, and slower to progress. They can overlap initially, but the disease course is much different.
