This may be an ignorant question. My wife has been given the diagnosis of "Upper Motor Neuron Disease". She has three cousins that have "Rapid Onset Dystonia Pakinsonism".
The neuro wants to do genetic testing on my wife, one cousin, and the parent who had the mutation. I do not know what exactly they are going to look for. They seem to think this will give them the answer. I am not so sure. If my wife's condition is sporadic, would that show up in this genetic test?
I have no idea if it would or would not. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ed
