Targeted exon skipping of NF1 exon 17 as a therapeutic for neurofibromatosis type I
We investigated the feasibility of utilizing an exon-skipping approach as a genotype-dependent therapeutic for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) by determining which NF1 exons might be skipped while maintaining neurofibromin protein expression and GTPase ...

The Ras GTPase-activating protein neurofibromin 1 promotes the positive selection of thymocytes. [PDF]
TCR-mediated activation of the Ras signaling pathway is critical for T cell development in the thymus and function in the periphery. However, which members of a family of Ras GTPase-activating proteins (RasGAPs) negatively regulate Ras activation in T cells is unknown.

Comparative oncogenomics implicates the neurofibromin 1 gene (NF1) as a breast cancer driver. [PDF]
AbstractIdentifying genomic alterations driving breast cancer is complicated by tumor diversity and genetic heterogeneity. Relevant mouse models are powerful for untangling this problem because such heterogeneity can be controlled. Inbred Chaos3 mice exhibit high levels of genomic instability leading to mammary tumors that have tumor gene expression ...

Phosphorylation of neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product (neurofibromin) by cAMP‐dependent protein kinase [PDF]
The critical function of the neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1) gene product (neurofabromin) is not well defined except that neurofibromin has homology with a family of the GTPase‐activating proteins (GAPs). In this study, we confirmed that neuofibromin is constitutively phosphorylated and detected kinase activities which specifically phosphorylated the ...

Vascular pathology is an underestimated complication of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1). Manifestations include renovascular stenosis with associated hypertension, cerebrovascular occlusion, visceral ischaemia and aneurysms of smaller arteries.

Summary: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a dominant genetic disorder manifesting, in part, as cognitive defects. Previous study indicated that neurofibromin (NF1 protein) interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP)/P97 to control dendritic spine ...

Identification of Germinal Neurofibromin Hotspots
Neurofibromin is engaged in many cellular processes and when the proper protein functioning is impaired, it causes neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. Recent advances in sequencing and screening of the
