Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease lacking effective treatments. Recent advancements in ALS genomics have linked genes to phenotypes, prompting the development of new therapeutic strategies and improved animal models. This review examines the history of gene editing tools, current ALS models, and the application of CRISPR/Cas9 in ALS research and therapy.
