Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder group that leads to tumors forming on nerve tissues.

The tumors can develop anywhere in the nervous system during the health condition, including nerves, brain, and spinal cord.

Primarily the neurofibromatosis disorder affects the development of nerve cell tissue.

These genetic disorders include two types one is known as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and the other is known as neurofibromatosis type Neurofibromatosi2 (NF2).

Schwannomatosis has also recently been recognized as the rarest and third type of Neurofibromatosis, but there is less information about it.

This webinar explains the process of genetic testing for Neurofibromatosis conditions (including NF1, NF2, and Schwannomatosis). The webinar was created by M.H.Sc. in Medical Genomics students at the University of Toronto. Sings and symptoms of the conditions, as well as benefits, indications, and potential results for genetic testing are discussed. Management and treatment options are also explored. This webinar is meant to be an informational video for anyone who has a clinical diagnosis or is otherwise suspected to have a Neurofibromatosis condition and is considering genetic testing.
