Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: How do the genetic complexities of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) impact reproductive counseling, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) design, and PGT treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER: We established association between both incidence and tissue mosaicism with multiple exon deletions and specific single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in neurofibromin 1 (NF1), a clinical actionable finding that we structured...
