Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the BRAF Gene Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CFC syndrome. This will help in identifying the presence of the BRAF gene mutation in the family.
Test Details
The BRAF gene is responsible for producing a protein called B-Raf, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and division. Mutations in the BRAF gene can lead to various genetic disorders, including Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome. This rare genetic disorder is characterized by abnormalities in the heart, facial features, and skin.
Individuals with CFC syndrome may exhibit distinctive facial features, heart defects, skin abnormalities, intellectual disability, and delayed development. To diagnose CFC syndrome, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is employed. NGS testing utilizes advanced sequencing technologies to efficiently analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the BRAF gene.
NGS testing helps confirm a diagnosis of CFC syndrome and enables appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.

Test Details | The BRAF gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called B-Raf. This protein is involved in signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and division. Mutations in the BRAF gene can lead to various genetic disorders, including Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome). Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the heart (cardio-), facial features (facio-), and skin (cutaneous). It is caused by mutations in multiple genes, including the BRAF gene. Individuals with CFC syndrome may have distinctive facial features, heart defects, skin abnormalities, intellectual disability, and delayed development. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to rapidly and efficiently analyze multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for the identification of specific mutations or changes in the DNA sequence of the BRAF gene and other relevant genes associated with CFC syndrome. NGS testing can help confirm a diagnosis of CFC syndrome and guide appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. |
