I would talk to your primary care person, they should know.
I've had two members of my family die of ALS and was wondering what my odds are of getting it. One of the steps could be a full DNA sequence. In order to get to that step however, you have to do about six months of counseling, and several blood tests before they do the full DNA sequence. The counseling is to prepare yourself for the possibility of them essentially giving you a death sentence with the blood and DNA results.
I never got that far. My father convinced me its better not to know and live your life accordingly, rather than trying to live a life always looking over your shoulder.
But my primary did have the information on how I could get it done, so I would start there.
