Test Details
The SETX gene is associated with the development of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 (ALS4), a rare form of ALS that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. ALS4 is characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, particularly in the hands and feet, and can also affect the voice, swallowing, and breathing muscles.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing can identify mutations in the SETX gene that cause ALS4. This type of testing analyzes multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of genetic changes that may be contributing to the development of the disease.
NGS genetic testing can help diagnose ALS4 and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the disease, which can be useful for family planning and genetic counseling. It can also aid in the development of personalized treatment plans and clinical trials for patients with ALS4.
