Sacroiliac Joint Involvement: An Underreported Complication of NF1
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT NF1‐related bone dysplasia in children and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) involving the sacroiliac joint has been rarely described. We report four participants who underwent whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (WB‐MRI) as part of a longitudinal imaging and plexiform neurofibroma (PN) biomarker study (NCT05238909) at Ann ...
