undation’s new resource on the Genetics of Neurofibromatosis!

Understanding the genetics of neurofibromatosis can be overwhelming, but our friends at CTF have created a clear and engaging page that breaks it all down. Their new Genetics of NF page covers the basics of how neurofibromatosis is inherited, including an easy-to-follow video on autosomal dominance.

It also includes important info and tools like:

  • A guide to genetic testing for neurofibromatosis
  • Family planning and reproductive options
  • The difference between Segmental NF and Mosaic NF (yes, they’re different!)

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a seasoned advocate, or just curious about how genetics plays a role in NF1, NF2-related schwannomatosis, and all types of schwannomatosis—this is worth a look.

Kudos to CTF for putting this together! Check it out here for find all the resources they’ve added:
