Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease thought to be precipitated by genetic, environment and lifestyle factors. In the UK, whole genome sequencing has become available to all people living with ALS, regardless of their family history or age of onset of disease. However, there is currently no formal guidance on how to deliver genetic counseling and testing in busy...
