About this position

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that causes a range of symptoms and affects approximately 1 in 3,000 people. These include abnormalities in skin pigmentation, problems with the heart and circulatory system, and nerve tumours that cause chronic pain and movement problems. This multisystem genetic disorder is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which encodes the neurofibromin protein. Neurofibromin contains seven functional domains and each domain interacts with different signalling pathways. Although mutations throughout the entire NF1 gene can cause disease, it remains un
