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 ...

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Febrile status epilepticus and epileptogenesis: The FEBSTAT study
Abstract The multicenter FEBSTAT study (Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Childhood: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R37‐NS043209‐12; PI S. Shinnar) examined the outcome of febrile status epilepticus (FSE) in over 200 prospectively enrolled infants, with many followed for 10 years after FSE.

An ShRNA Screen Identifies MEIS1 as a Driver of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare soft tissue sarcomas that are a major source of mortality in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients.

ABSTRACT Approximately 6%–8% of children and adolescents with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have an underlying cancer predisposition disorder (CPD), which varies between embryonal and alveolar subtypes and other clinical characteristics. Identifying a CPD remains challenging, as traditional approaches rely on clinical features and family history. Additionally,

Expanding the Noonan spectrum/RASopathy NGS panel: Benefits of adding NF1 and SPRED1
Background RASopathies are a group of disorders caused by disruptions to the RAS‒MAPK pathway. Despite being in the same pathway, Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Legius syndrome (LS) typically present with phenotypes distinct from Noonan spectrum ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product (neurofibromin) associates with microtubules [PDF]
The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene was recently identified by positional cloning and found to encode a protein with structural and functional homology to mammalian and yeast GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Using antibodies directed against the NF1 gene product, a protein of approximately 250 kDa was identified and termed neurofibromin.
