Neurofibromatosis or NF affects 1 out of every 3000 births. It affects more than 100,000 Americans.
NF is the most common genetic disorder.....More common than Multiple sclerosis, Tay Sac Disease and hereditary Muscular Dystrophy.
For those affected by NF....Their offspring have a 50% Chance of also being affected.
In the statistics....about HALF of those cases are from a Spontaneous Mutation...meaning there is no history of NF in the family.
