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.

What chromosome does Neurofibromatosis effects?
WOW!! That guy is amazing. A chicken? Histerical, Neurofibromatosis affects only chromosome number 23. It also will affect the brain and is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder.It is when your chromosome has a chicken.
What is the cause of neorofibromatosis?
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in certain genes (NF1 and NF2) that are involved in controlling cell growth. It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning a person only needs one copy of the mutated gene to develop the condition. In some cases, it may also occur sporadically due to new mutations.
What are genetic disorders that involve more than one defective gene?
Some examples of genetic disorders involving more than one defective gene are cystic fibrosis, which is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and other modifier genes; and certain types of neurofibromatosis, which result from mutations in both the NF1 and NF2 genes. These disorders demonstrate the complexity of genetic inheritance and the interactions between multiple genes.
What is neurofibromatosis?
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves in various parts of the body. There are three types of neurofibromatosis: NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. Symptoms can vary widely and may include skin changes, hearing loss, and balance problems, depending on the type of neurofibromatosis. Treatment options focus on managing symptoms and monitoring for any potential complications.
Your daughter is 7 year old she has nf1 she has neurofiborma on one of the eye nerve and spinal she also has dyslexia is nf1 and dyslexia related?
I amd 29 and I have NF1, I have read before that dyslexia is more common in nf1 patents, I was never officialy diagnosec. But I do have many of the signs of it. My mother does as well(she carried the NF1 Gene) If you would like to contact me about any other experences email me at samo333@hotmail.com and put NF1 in hte subject line.
Is epilepsy relative to nf1?
No.
Is neurofibromatosis occrs in India?
yes !! I suffer from NF1
How long do people live with nf1?
Individuals with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) generally have a normal life expectancy. However, they may face an increased risk of certain health issues, such as tumors, learning disabilities, and cardiovascular problems, which can affect quality of life. Early diagnosis and management of associated complications can help improve outcomes. Regular medical care is essential for monitoring and addressing potential issues related to NF1.
What are facts about neurofibromatosis?
People who have NF1 may have very few neurofibromas, or they may have thousands throughout their bodies
What is the genotype for a person with the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis?
The genotype for Neurofibromatosis is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, caused by mutations in the NF1 gene located on chromosome 17. Individuals with Neurofibromatosis usually have a mutation in one copy of the NF1 gene.
Can a prenatal test detect neurofibromatosis?
Clinical genetic testing can confirm the presence of a mutation in the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene. Prenatal testing for NF1 mutations is also possible using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling procedures. Genetic testing for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) mutations is sometimes available but is accurate only in about 65 percent of those individuals tested.
What chromosome does Neurofibromatosis effects?
WOW!! That guy is amazing. A chicken? Histerical, Neurofibromatosis affects only chromosome number 23. It also will affect the brain and is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder.It is when your chromosome has a chicken.
What is neurofibromatosis and is it hereditary?
Neuro- means nerve, fibro-means fiber, oma- means tumor, -tosis means condition of. The entire word means soft tumors involving nerves including all nerves and nerve fibers. This is a genetic disorder. There are two forms: NF1 (90%) and NF1. This disease was once called von Recklinghausen disease, named after the man who first described it.
How can you tell if your child has neurofibromatosis?
First off---There are many different forms of Neurofibromatosis. Each type manifests itself in a different manner. NF1 being the most common. A good sign that your child MAY have NF1 is the visible sign of cafe au lait spots on the surface of the skin (they look like very light coloured birthmarks will appear at birth or shortly after (most people can have 1 or 2)--children with NF will have more than 5 (over 5cm in size). Children with NF1 may also have freckling under their armpits and around the groin area, a slightly larger head circumference, short stature, learning disabilities, freckling in the coloured part of their eyes, and small fleshy tumors may develop during puberty. This is only a really quick overview of NF1---to be completely sure you should see a family doctor(or one familiar with NF). NF testing is also a possibility if you suspect (or if their is a family history).---Please be reassured that NF is very diverse and affects EVERYONE in a different way---
Can neurofibroma be caused by trauma?
neurofibroma is genetic disorder...NF1 and NF2 genes are mutatedin their respective chromosomal sites to cause a cluster of symptoms that affect the skin,nerves,eye and brain.it is not caused by trauma
Can you give or donate blood O- if you have a genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1?
Yes, individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) can donate blood, including O- blood, as long as they meet the general eligibility criteria set by blood donation organizations. NF1 itself does not typically disqualify a person from donating blood, but it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or the blood donation center to confirm eligibility based on individual health status and any specific concerns related to the condition.
