Abstract excerpt
The NF1 tumor suppressor gene encodes neurofibromin, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for p21ras (Ras). Children with NF1 are predisposed to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Some heterozygous Nf1 mutant mice develop a similar myeloproliferative disorder (MPD), and adoptive transfer of Nf1-deficient fetal liver cells consistently induces this MPD. Human JMML and murine Nf1-deficient cells are...
