German pathologist Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen is credited with first describing neurofibromatosis type 1 in 1882. NF1 is often called â??von Recklinghausen syndromeâ?? as a result. Scottish JH Wishart is credited with first describing neurofibromatosis type 2 in 1820.
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.
Yes, there are support groups for neurofibromatosis. The Children's Tumor Foundation, NF Network, and NF Australia are some organizations that offer support and resources for individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis. These groups provide opportunities for connections, information sharing, and emotional support.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was first described in 1882 by the German pathologist Von Recklinghausen. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) was first described in 1820 by the Scottish surgeon JH Wishart.
Neurofibromatosis 1 hyperpigmented macules (cafe au lait spots) nerve tumors types: cutaneous, subcutaneous and plexiform neurofibromas Optical tumors optic pathway gliomas and Lisch nodules (bumps on iris of the eye) Bony abnomralities dysplasias (malformations) of the eye socket, vertebrae Thinning of the long bone cortex Scoliosis can occur as well learning deficits yet large head size Increased rick of non nervous system cancers Neurofibromatosis 2 generally just schwannomas, meningomas and the occasional cataracts. Also they are both affected by different chromosomes... patients with NF1 has a mutation on the long arm of chromosome 17 while neurofibromatosis 2 has a mutation on chromosome 22.
Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means only one copy of the affected gene is needed for the disorder to develop.
Neurofibromatosis is usually diagnosed when the patient has 10 or more cafe-au-lait spots.
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.

Every one idiot
Neurofibromatosis - is a genetic condition... nota communicable disease. You cannot 'catch' it from a sufferer by way of intercourse with an affected person.
There is no public evidence to suggest that Dale Earnhardt had neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on nerves, and while Earnhardt had various health concerns throughout his career, there has been no indication that he suffered from this specific condition. His death in a racing accident in 2001 was attributed to head injuries rather than any underlying medical condition like neurofibromatosis.
The NHS website has detailed information on neurofibromatosis. They have details of the diagnosis, causes, symptoms and possible treatments for the condition.

no, not yet, but they are working to find one!
Von Recklinghausen
yes !! I suffer from NF1
