Symptoms and Testing information for C9orf72 Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with frontotemporal dementia Genetic Test
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. When ALS is found alongside frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a condition characterized by changes in personality, behavior, and language due to the degeneration of […]
Symptoms and Testing information for SS18L1 Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis CREST related Genetic Test
Symptoms of SS18L1 Gene Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis CREST Related Genetic Test Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. A variant of ALS has been linked to mutations in the SS18L1 gene, and understanding the symptoms related […]
Symptoms and Testing information for NEFH Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis susceptibility to Genetic Test
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The NEFH gene has been identified as one of the genetic factors that may influence an individual’s susceptibility to developing ALS. Understanding the symptoms associated with ALS and the […]
Symptoms and Testing information for VPS54 Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis VPS54 related Genetic Test
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, loss of motor function, and, eventually, severe disability. Among the genetic factors contributing to ALS, mutations in the VPS54 gene have been identified as one of the rare causes. Understanding the symptoms […]
Symptoms and Testing information for UBQLN2 Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis x-linked juvenile and adult-onset ALS Genetic Test
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. This debilitating condition leads to the deterioration and death of motor neurons, which are essential for controlling muscle movement. When these neurons die, the brain’s ability to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With […]
Symptoms and Testing information for TRPM7 Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonismdementia complex susceptibility to Genetic Test
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex (ALS-PDC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that poses significant challenges to individuals affected by it. This condition, characterized by a combination of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), parkinsonism, and dementia, has been linked to genetic factors, including mutations in the TRPM7 gene. Understanding the symptoms associated with this condition and the importance […]
