A calorimetry test measures a child's resting metabolic rate. Learn about what happens during a calorimetry test as well as how to prepare your child.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a skin condition that causes growths on nerves. Find out what NF1 genetic testing is, what the test results mean and why to consider testing for it.
Learn about VKORC1, a gene tested through pharmacogenetic testing to predict an individual’s response to certain medications.
Learn about pharmacogenetics (PGx) testing is performed, which genes are currently tested and how the results of PGx testing can help inform your child's health-care team.
Genetic counselling helps people understand genetic or inherited disorders. It can help families learn about neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and decide if testing is right for them.

Learn about CYP2B6, a gene tested through pharmacogenetic testing to predict an individual’s response to certain medications.
Learn about HLAs, a group of genes tested through pharmacogenetic testing to predict an individual’s response to certain medications.
Learn what happens during a pulmonary function test and how it is used to check how well your child's lungs are working.
Learn about TPMT, a gene tested through pharmacogenetic testing to predict an individual’s response to certain medications.
Learn about clinical and genetic testing, two ways that doctors diagnose Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Each of these methods has advantages and limits.
Learn about the various health specialties and medications that have established pharmacogenetic (PGx) guidelines to help inform medication prescribing and treatment decisions for your child.
Learn about CYP2D6, a gene tested through pharmacogenetic testing to predict an individual’s response to certain medications.
Genetic counselling is a process that provides information and support to individuals and families at risk of, or with, a genetic condition.
Pharmacogenetics is an example of precision medicine that uses a person’s genetic make-up to predict medication response.
