You couldn't go on social media in 2014 without seeing a new video of a friend, celebrity or tech star dumping a bucket of ice water over his or her head to raise money for research into the degenerative neurological disorder ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
**w, it looks like that "ice bucket challenge" produced some very real scientific results, according to the ALS Association.
A new Nature Genetics study (http://www.nature.com/articles/ng.3626.epdf?referrer_access_token=9WdfIIYIoM3bEjC umijO0dRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PjhSvNia03_VF3rYLPfJnD6 jxt-lWWKtfqBYv-4M0q9EekwROG2VUeDcvQDvsnFxswhCSH_kuNpjM1m31HgsErwT mMzWnfUhKHBKfAX3YUo8Nl0wqcUqaix7cRRnxauao%3D&tracking_referrer=www.bbc.com) — funded by money raised through the ice bucket challenge — details the discovery of a new gene associated with ALS.
