My PALS was diagnosed in Sept 2011. I am not aware of anyone else in his family that has or had ALS. His mother passed a year and a half ago and a family member came across an old letter that she had filed away about a family member who had died showing some symptoms of ALS probably 75 years ago. They shared that info with our adult children who are now somewhat concerned.
My question is whether or not there is a medical test to rule out if someone carries the ALS Familia Gene or not. If so, does the person with ALS take the test or do the children?
Thank you in advance.
