The four/five-point restraint uses a lift-latch or a rotary buckle connector (Figure 5) for attachment of the pelvic harnesses. The four/five-point restraint does not have an enabling switch. Systems without an enabling switch are active (or enabled) when the system is completely electrically connected.
As genetic testing becomes increasingly available for these conditions, the Johns Hopkins Center for Inherited Heart Diseases can provide you with appropriate counseling on the risks and benefits of these tests.
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.
