Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) Clinical Trials: What is Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1)?
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous system. It is a relatively common genetic condition, occurring in about 1 in every 3,000 to 4,000 individuals worldwide. NF1 is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein called neurofibromin.
The main characteristic feature of NF1 is the development of multiple benign tumors called neurofibromas. These tumors grow along the nerves anywhere in the body and can vary in size and location. They may appear as soft, fleshy bumps on or under the skin, or as deeper tumors affecting internal organs. Neurofibromas are typically non-cancerous, but in some cases, they may become malignant.
