Genetic Testing for ALS. Genetic Testing for ALS - ALS is directly hereditary in only 10 percent of families. The vast majority of ALS cases are sporadic, meaning that although there is likely a genetic predisposition involved, ALS is not directly inherited in a family. Although there is a genetic test for ALS, it is still quite limited. In 20 percent of families with inherited ALS, a change in the gene called SOD1 on chromosome 21 has been found, however, 80 percent of families with inherited ALS do not show a change in their SOD1 gene.
A genetic test is a laboratory test that may be able to tell if you have changes or alterations called mutations in the gene associated with PXE, the ABCC6 gene. You provide to the laboratory either a blood sample or a cheek swab sample.
