Genetically engineered minipigs model the major clinical features of human neurofibromatosis type 1. [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Whole tumor RNA-sequencing and deconvolution reveal a clinically-prognostic PTEN/PI3K-regulated glioma transcriptional signature [PDF]
The concept that solid tumors are maintained by a productive interplay between neoplastic and non-neoplastic elements has gained traction with the demonstration that stromal fibroblasts and immune system cells dictate cancer development and progression ...

Clinical case of family neurofibromatosis type I
Background. Neurofibromatosis is a group of orphan diseases with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, which makes the disease difficult to diagnose. Pigmentation manifestations represent an early clinical sign in children with neurofibromatosis type
