Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common genetic disorders in humans with an incidence of 1 in 3500. Most of the NF1 mutations reported so far (over 240 mutations) are unique. Specific prenatal diagnosis can only be provided to familial cases by an indirect linkage analysis or to families with a previously identified mutation. Here we report the first prenatal diagnosis in sporadic NF1 by direct...
