Lou Gehrig's Disease, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is primarily associated with mutations in the SOD1 gene, which is located on chromosome 21. However, ALS can also be linked to mutations in several other genes that may be found on different chromosomes, including C9orf72 on chromosome 9 and FUS on chromosome 16. The disease can have both genetic and sporadic forms, with various genetic factors involved.
He had a disease named after him known as: (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Lou Gehrig's disease is a progressive neurological disease. It is also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The cause of Lou Gehrig's disease is not known, as of July 2014.
There is no known way to prevent Lou Gehrig's disease or to alter its course.
Two major forms of ALS are known: familial and sporadic. Familial Lou Gehrig's disease accounts for about 10% of all Lou Gehrig's disease cases.
Lou Gehrig and Stephen Hawkings.
ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease
ALS -Lou Gehrig's DiseaseOn June 2, 1941 at the age of 37, Lou Gehrig succumbed to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) known today as "Lou Gehrig's disease"
He was retiring and he had Lou Gehrig's disease. Basically people wanted to here Lou Gehrig's last words in person.

No, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a GENETIC disease
I'm sure Lou Gehrig had diarrhea occasionally, as everyone does, but the disease called Lou Gehrig's Disease is ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that causes the muscles to waste away.
