Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is primarily an adult-onset neurodegenerative condition. While it is rare, there are familial forms of ALS that can be inherited, potentially allowing for symptoms to appear in younger individuals. However, a baby being born with ALS is virtually unheard of, as the disease typically manifests in adulthood. Thus, while genetic factors may play a role, ALS is not diagnosed in infants or newborns.
