Multimodality Imaging Features of Breast Carcinoma in Women with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF 1) – A Report of Two Cases [PDF]
With a prevalence of approximately 1 out of 2,500 to 4,000 births, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen’s disease, is one of the most prevalent autosomal dominant diseases in humans.

Mouse Models of Neurofibromatosis 1 and 2
The neurofibromatoses represent two of the most common inherited tumor predisposition syndromes affecting the nervous system. Individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) are prone to the development of astrocytomas and peripheral nerve sheath tumors ...

Identification of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product. [PDF]
The gene for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was recently identified by positional cloning. The complete cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 2818 amino acids. To study the NF1 gene product, antibodies were raised against both fusion proteins and synthetic peptides.

Influence of cellular models and individual factor in the biological response to chest CT scan exams
Background While computed tomography (CT) exams are the major cause of medical exposure to ionising radiation, there is increasing evidence that the potential radiation-induced risks must be documented.

The RASopathies: from pathogenetics to therapeutics
The RASopathies are a group of disorders caused by a germline mutation in one of the genes encoding a component of the RAS/MAPK pathway. These disorders, including neurofibromatosis type 1, Noonan syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Costello ...

A Clinical Variant of Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Familial Spinal Neurofibromatosis with a Frameshift Mutation in the NF1 Gene [PDF]
Spinal neurofibromatosis (SNF) has been considered to be an alternative form of neurofibromatosis in which spinal cord tumors are the main clinical characteristic. Familial SNF has been reported, elsewhere, in three families-two linked to markers within the gene for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and the other not linked to NF1-but no molecular ...

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.

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.
