Neurofibromatosis type I ( NF-1 ), or von Recklinghausen syndrome, is a complex multi-system human disorder caused by the mutation of neurofibromin 1 (NF-1), a gene on chromosome 17 that is responsible for production of a protein (neurofibromin) which is needed for normal function in many human cell types. NF-1 causes tumors along the nervous ...
Mar 31, 2017 · Von Recklinghausen’s disease (VRD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on the nerves. The disease can also affect the skin and cause bone deformities.
Jun 1, 2024 · Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes changes in skin pigment and tumors on nerve tissue. Skin changes include flat, light brown spots and freckles in the armpits and groin. Tumors can grow anywhere in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves. NF1 is rare. About 1 in 2,500 is affected by NF1.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (also called Von Recklinghausen’s disease, Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis and peripheral NF) is one of the most commoninherited disorders and affects about one in every 3,000 people.
Apr 25, 2022 · Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), historically called von Recklinghausen’s disease, is a genetic disorder characterized by increased risk of developing noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) tumors, as well as various other physical and neurological manifestations.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) Schwannomatosis (SWN) Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is the most common of the three conditions.
May 13, 2024 · NF1, previously known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common type. The hallmarks of NF1 are multiple café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas. The condition is called "segmental NF1" when clinical features are limited to one area of the body due to somatic mosaicism of a pathogenic variant in the NF1 gene.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves. The tumours are usually non-cancerous and so usually cause only mild symptoms.
