How Can Genetic Testing Be Helpful to Patients & Families With Neurofibromatosis & Schwannomatosis

For more information about Cleveland Clinic's Neurofibromatosis Program, please visit https://cle.clinic/3NQi7Kz This year’s Neurofibromatosis Symposium offers patients and family members an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the management of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis. Genetic testing can play an important role in diagnosing neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis — especially when symptoms overlap with other rare genetic conditions. Genetic counselor Lauren Bovitz explains how genetic testing works, what results can mean for patients and families and when testing may help guide screening, treatment and future care decisions. You’ll also learn how these conditions can run in families, why symptoms may differ from person to person, and how genetic counseling can help patients better understand their risks and options.
