BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a high index of spontaneous mutations and extremely varied and unpredictable clinical manifestations. It is diagnosed by the existence of certain clinical criteria which cannot appear until adulthood. METHODS The

NF1 microduplications: identification of seven nonrelated individuals provides further characterization of the phenotype.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations of the neurofibromin 1 (NF1) gene at 17q11.2. Approximately 5% of individuals with NF1 have a 1.4-Mb heterozygous 17q11.2 deletion encompassing NF1, formed through nonallelic homologous recombination

Tuberous sclerosis associated with neurofibromatosis: report of a case.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis are phakomatous syndrome diseases. They are both inherited as autosomal dominant diseases. Neurofibromatosis type 1 and tuberous sclerosis very seldom occur together. We report a 16-year-old male who had characteristics of these two diseases. This patient had

A case of Miller-Dieker syndrome in a family with neurofibromatosis type I.
