NF1 is neurofibromatosis also has a variant NF2. NF1 affects 1 in 3000 people and isn't a disease, this is a condition which affects the nerves. Fibroma are small bumps which appear on nerve endings and can appear anywhere on the body. Signs of NF1 include cafe au lait patches which may be confused with birthmarks, feckled arm pits and groin area and neurofibroma. This conditon is not as well known as many other conditions like MS. This condition like all other have different serverites. Joesph Merrick (The Elephant Man) was at first thought to suffer from this but later rediagnosed. This can be passed on from parents to offspring. If either parent has this there is a 50/50 chance of passing it on to the child. THIS CONDITION IS NOT CONTAGIOUS and must not be treated or thought of as such.
