We report a 21-year-old male with symptomatic optic glioma who does not fulfill the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) according to standard NIH criteria.

This nonsense mutation causes skipping of exon 37 during the splicing process and is predicted to result in a protein shortened by 34 amino acid residues. The mutation was...
