Genetic testing and counseling are available where individuals are able to meet with a genetic counselor to discuss risks of having the children with the disease.

Some of the tests the genetic counselors perform include chorionic villus sampling (CVS), preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and amniocentesis. With PGD, the embryos are tested for the ALSM1 gene and only the embryos that are not affected may be chosen for implantation via in vitro fertilization.
