tested 35 genes, 20 als and 15 als-like genes.
panel didnt contain
SIGMAR1
TBK1
C9ORF72
am i smarter? little bit. i am not sod1 so i have tdp43 accumulation. following genes were tested:
ALS2, ANG, ATL1, BSCL2, CHCHD10, CHMP2B, DCTN1, FIG4, FUS,
GBE1, GRN, HEXA, HNRNPA1*, HSPD1*, KIAA0196, KIF5A, MATR3*, OPTN, PFN1, PRF1, REEP1, SETX, SLC52A2, SLC52A3,
SOD1, SPAST, SPG11, SPG20, SQSTM1, TARDBP*, TIA1, TUBA4A, UBQLN2
no mutations found.
how many pals did such a test (average) and how many have mutations?
 
I was initially tested for c9 which was known in my family. later as part of a study I had a panel of other mutations. All fine

when you say you have tdp43 accumulation that is not a test correct? I don’t think one exists for living PALS. You surmise it ( reasonably) because it is present in most if not all non sod1 ALS?
 
test is ok, i concluded: tdp43 accumulation is found in all pals except sod1. the only thing to try get rid of it is Interm.fasting which is not completelly disfunctional, but it remains last bullet. also, i excluded all food with high GI index. seems that my new found diabetes has a same root. with als.
