Bipartite Interaction between Neurofibromatosis Type I Protein (Neurofibromin) and Syndecan Transmembrane Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene encodes a large tumor suppressor protein (neurofibromin). Although it is known to possess Ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity, the cellular role of neurofibromin remains unclear.

The Imbalance Between Tumor Immunosurveillance and Tumor Immune Escape in Glioblastoma
(Left)The identification and elimination of tumour cells is enabled by the infiltration of functional innate and adaptive immune effectors into the TME, such as natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8 T cells). Effective innate and adaptive immune responses facilitate immunological control of malignant outgrowth.

Periodontal Disease and Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents with diverse systemic and oral manifestations. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal status and salivary alterations in NF1 individuals. Methods A total of 38 individuals with NF1 diagnostic criteria were compared with a control group paired by age and sex.

Affinity Purification of NF1 Protein–Protein Interactors Identifies Keratins and Neurofibromin Itself as Binding Partners [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is caused by pathogenic variants in the NF1 gene encoding neurofibromin. Definition of NF1 protein–protein interactions (PPIs) has been difficult and lacks replication, making it challenging to define binding partners

Dissecting the role of the CRMP2–neurofibromin complex on pain behaviors [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic disorder linked to inactivating mutations or a homozygous deletion of the Nf1 gene, is characterized by tumorigenesis, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, migraine, and pain.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a common neurogenic condition characterized by heterozygous loss of function mutations in the neurofibromin gene. NF1 patients are susceptible to the development of neurofibromas, including plexiform neurofibromas (pNFs),

We report the clinical and genetic features of an institutional cohort of primary adult gliosarcomas compared to glioblastoma. We performed spatial whole‐transcriptome analysis on glial and sarcomatous regions of four cases to compare gene expression profiles and validated differential protein expression for two markers in tissue sections.

The WHO Classification of Genetic Tumour Syndromes: Considerations for Genetics
The WHO Classification of Tumours underpins the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions. The new WHO classification of genetic tumour syndromes (GTS) provides international standards for their diagnosis. This diagram highlights the chromosomal distribution of the genes involved in the GTS covered in this classification.
