Genetically engineered minipigs model the major clinical features of human neurofibromatosis type 1. [PDF]
, 2018 Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in Neurofibromin 1 (NF1). NF1 patients present with a variety of clinical manifestations and are predisposed to cancer development.

A conserved circadian function for the Neurofibromatosis 1 gene [PDF]
, 2018 Summary: Loss of the Neurofibromatosis 1 (Nf1) protein, neurofibromin, in Drosophila disrupts circadian rhythms of locomotor activity without impairing central clock function, suggesting effects downstream of the clock.

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2003 SUMMARYNeurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is often not recognised as a distinct entity from peripheral neurofibromatosis. NF2 is a predominantly intracranial condition whose hallmark is bilateral vestibular schwannomas. NF2 results from a mutation in the gene named merlin, located on chromosome 22.

Neurofibromatosis 2 [Bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis, central neurofibromatosis, NF2, neurofibromatosis type II] [PDF]
Genetics in Medicine, 2009 Neurofibromatosis 2 is a dominantly inherited tumor predisposition syndrome caused by mutations in the NF2 gene on chromosome 22. Affected individuals inevitably develop schwannomas typically affecting both vestibular nerves leading to deafness. Rehabilitation with brainstem implants is improving this outcome.

Ophthalmic Manifestation in Neurofibromatosis Type 2
Applied Sciences, 2023 Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetically determined tumor-predisposing syndrome. Ocular manifestations include cataracts, epiretinal membranes, retinal hamartomas, optic disk gliomas, and optic nerve sheath meningiomas. Moreover, optic disk edema,

Children with 5′-end NF1 gene mutations are more likely to have glioma [PDF]
, 2017 Objective:To ascertain the relationship between the germline NF1 gene mutation and glioma development in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).Methods:The relationship between the type and location of the germline NF1 mutation and the presence of ...

Brain Pathology, 1997 Neurofibromatosis (NF) 1 and 2 are multisystem disorders associated with a variety of neoplastic and non‐neoplastic manifestations that typically progress in severity during the lifetime of the affected patient. The importance of appropriately diagnosing these disorders stems from the fact that the natural history of an associated neoplasm, such as a ...
