Expert Panel Publishes Guidelines for Genetic Testing, Counseling in ALS

An expert panel led by researchers at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine has published a set of evidence-based guidelines for genetic testing and counseling for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The guidelines consist of 35 statements, whose recommendations regarding test methods and reporting establish a framework for clinicians to offer genetic testing and detail the information that should be provided to patients. They were published last week in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology.
