Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the VAPB Gene Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by ALS type 8.
Test Details
The VAPB gene is associated with a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) known as ALS type 8. This condition is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting in the hands and feet, as well as difficulties with speaking and swallowing.
NGS genetic testing is used to analyze the DNA sequence of the VAPB gene and identify any mutations or abnormalities that may be present. If a mutation is detected, it can help confirm a diagnosis of ALS type 8 and guide the treatment and management of the disease.
Furthermore, genetic testing can be beneficial for family members who may be at risk of inheriting the mutation. By undergoing genetic testing, they can determine their own risk and take appropriate measures.
