NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test. This test is designed to help diagnose and understand neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system.
Test Details
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that causes the formation of tumors on nerve tissue. It is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which produces a protein called neurofibromin. This protein plays a role in regulating cell growth and division.
Our NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS is a high-throughput genetic testing method that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of NF1, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variations in the NF1 gene that may be responsible for causing the disorder.
Test Components and Price
The NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The DNA sample is sequenced using NGS technology to determine the specific sequence of the NF1 gene. This sequence is compared to a reference sequence to identify any mutations or variations.
Test Type and Doctor
The NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test falls under the category of cancer genetic testing. Our test is conducted under the guidance of an oncologist.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The NF1 Gene Neurofibromatosis type 1 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by NF1.
Why Choose Genetic Testing for NF1?
Genetic testing for NF1 can help diagnose the disorder in individuals with clinical symptoms or a family history of the disorder. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who have a family history of NF1 but do not show any symptoms themselves. However, it is important to note that genetic testing for NF1 should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and support.

Test Details |
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes the formation of tumors on nerve tissue. It is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which provides instructions for producing a protein called neurofibromin. This protein is involved in regulating cell growth and division. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput genetic testing method that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of NF1, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the NF1 gene that may be responsible for causing the disorder. The NGS genetic test for NF1 involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to determine the specific sequence of the NF1 gene. This sequence is compared to a reference sequence to identify any mutations or variations. The results of the NGS genetic test can help diagnose NF1 in individuals with clinical symptoms or a family history of the disorder. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who have a family history of NF1 but do not show any symptoms themselves. It is important to note that genetic testing for NF1 should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and support. |
