Overview
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is mainly diagnosed clinically. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is usually diagnosed early on in childhood. Genetic testing may be necessary in difficult cases.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- The diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 is mainly clinical.[2]
- Approximately 46% of individuals with a de novo mutation of NF1 gene do not meet criteria the first year of life.[3]
- Annual monitoring until late childhood is necessary for patients with suspicious neurofibromatosis type 1.[3]
- 97% of children with one or more features of neurofibromatosis type 1 meet diagnostic criteria by age 8 years.[3]
National Institute of Health (NIH) Diagnostic Criteria
2 of the following 7 "Cardinal Clinical Features" are required for positive diagnosis:[4][5][2]
- 6 or more café-au-lait macules over 5 mm in greatest diameter in pre-pubertal individuals and over 15 mm in greatest diameter in post-pubertal individuals
- 2 or more neurofibromas of any type or 1 plexiform neurofibroma
- Freckling in the axillary or inguinal regions
- Optic glioma
- 2 or more Lisch nodules (iris harmartomas)
- A distinctive osseous lesion such as sphenoid dysplasia or thinning of the long bone cortex with or without pseudarthrosis
- A first degree relative (parent, sibling, or offspring) with NF1 by the above criteria
Genetic testing
- In rare occassions where diagnosis is unclear, genetic testing may be necessary.[2]
- Hundreds of mutations in the NF1 gene have beenrecognized; these may be deletions, insertions, splice site mutations, amino acid substitutions, full gene deletions and chromosomal rearrangements.[6][7]
- Genetic testing may be necessary for differentiating neurofibromatosis type 1 and Legius syndrome.[8][9]
- NF1 gene de novo mutations seem to occur mostly on paternal chromosomes.[10][11]
- Neurofibromatosis type 1 is clinically and genetically different from certain tumour predisposition conditions, such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and schwannomatosis.[8][12][13]
- Genetic testing detects approximately 95% of NF1 mutations in patients that fulfill the clinical diagnostic criteria.[14][7]
- Genetic testing does not predict or determines the severity the condition.[7]
- A negative DNA result does not exclude the mutation when there is a known familial mutation.[7]
