Test Details:
The MATR3 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called matrin-3. Mutations in this gene have been associated with an increased risk for developing a type of motor neuron disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is a progressive neurological disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and wasting.
NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can analyze multiple genes at once to identify potential disease-causing mutations. An NGS test for ALS may include analysis of the MATR3 gene, along with other genes known to be associated with the disease.
Testing for mutations in the MATR3 gene may be recommended for individuals with a family history of ALS or for those experiencing symptoms of the disease. Early detection of genetic mutations can allow for earlier intervention and potentially better outcomes. However, it’s important to note that not all individuals with mutations in the MATR3 gene will develop ALS, and not all cases of ALS are caused by mutations in this gene.
