Hi juliez,

In addition to a neurologist, a genetic counselor can be a great source of support and a resource for evaluating a family history of ALS. They can order this testing for your family member and help interpret any results. (Many ALS genetic counselors work closely with neurologists as well!)

You can find a genetic counselor near you or your family member by searching http://www.findageneticcounselor.nsgc.org. Feel free to be in touch if you’d like more info about the genetic counseling and testing processes or need help finding a genetic counselor.

Best of luck,

Sarah
