Intramedullary gangliogliomas: histopathologic and molecular features of 25 cases [PDF]
Gangliogliomas are uncommon glioneuronal tumors, which usually arise in the cerebral hemispheres and occasionally in the brain stem. Gangliogliomas occurring in the spinal cord are extremely rare. In this study, we analyzed the clinical, histopathologic,

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
When mutations in two different genes produce the same mutant phenotype, it suggests that the encoded proteins either interact with each other, or act in parallel to fulfill a similar purpose.

The emerging roles of ribosome biogenesis in craniofacial development. [PDF]
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a transient, migratory cell population, which originates during neurulation at the neural folds and contributes to the majority of tissues, including the mesenchymal structures of the craniofacial skeleton.

Tightly linked markers for the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene
Relationships among genetic markers in the region of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene on chromosome 17 were investigated by linkage studies in a large sample set of affected families and in a panel of 58 normal families. A new marker, pHHH202 (D17S33), was included along with two markers known to be closely linked to NF.

Four-year follow-up study in a NF1 Boy with a focal pontine hamartoma [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis is a collective name for a group of genetic conditions in which benign tumours affect the nervous system. Type 1 is caused by a genetic mutation in the NF1 gene (OMIM 613113) and symptoms can vary dramatically between individuals, even ...

The neurofibromatosis type 1 gene and its protein product, neurofibromin [PDF]
Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis, or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NFI), affects approximately 1 in 3500 individuals of all ethnic backgrounds. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease and is manifested clinically by abnormalities that predominantly affect tissues which derive from the neural crest (Riccardi, 1981,199l; Riccardi and Eichner ...

The molecular pathogenesis of schwannomatosis, a paradigm for the co-involvement of multiple tumour suppressor genes in tumorigenesis [PDF]
Schwannomatosis is characterized by the predisposition to develop multiple schwannomas and, less commonly, meningiomas. Despite the clinical overlap with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), schwannomatosis is not caused by germline NF2 gene mutations ...
