Advanced Genetic Testing for Neurofibromatosis at Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue, affecting the nervous system and leading to various complications such as learning disabilities, vision and hearing loss, and skeletal abnormalities. Early detection through genetic testing can guide medical management and inform family planning decisions. At Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office, we offer advanced genetic testing services to screen for Neurofibromatosis, helping you make informed decisions about your family planning.
How Testing Works
- Consultation: We review your medical and family history, and your plans for a family.
- Counseling: We explain the test, what the results can and cannot show, and your options.
- Testing: A blood or saliva sample is sent for laboratory analysis.
- Results: We go through your results with you and discuss the next steps.
If you are having IVF, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can check embryos for certain inherited conditions before transfer. Testing has limits, and we will explain them during your consultation.
