What is NF1 Gene Deletion and Duplication by MLPA?

This genetic test uses MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) to detect deletions or duplications within the NF1 gene. Changes in this gene are associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, a genetic disorder affecting nerve tissue growth.

Why is this test important?

Detecting these specific genetic changes helps confirm a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Type 1, especially in individuals with atypical symptoms or when clinical diagnosis is uncertain. It can also be used for genetic counseling and family planning.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
