Other Diagnostic Studies
Molecular Genetic Testing
| Gene | Testing Method | Detected Mutations |
| ALMS1 | Targeted mutation analysis | 19-bp insertion exon 16 |
| ALMS1 | Sequence analysis of select exons: 16, 10, and 8 | Sequence variants |
| ALMS1 | Sequence analysis of entire coding region | Sequence variants |
| ALMS1 | Deletion / duplication analysis | Exonic and whole-gene deletions |
Given the current detection rate, failure to identify a disease-causing sequence variant does not preclude the diagnosis of Alström syndrome.
