ALS, Ataxias, & Huntington's

Genetics can play a significant role in the development of certain neurodegenerative diseases. In some cases, genetic testing may help confirm a diagnosis.

Alzheimer's

Finding a way to diagnose Alzheimer's earlier and easier is a key goal for Labcorp.

Muscular Dystrophy

Characterized by progressive muscle loss and weakness, our tests can detect the genetic mutations that cause the most common forms.

Multiple Sclerosis

While no single test can diagnose multiple sclerosis, lab tests may help doctors rule out other diseases and confirm a diagnosis.
