Heterozygosity for the neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) tumor suppressor results in abnormalities in cell attachment, spreading and motility in astrocytes
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Individuals with the neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) tumor predisposition syndrome develop low-grade pilocytic astrocytomas at an increased frequency. Previously, we demonstrated that astrocytes from mice heterozygous for a targeted mutation in the Nf1 gene (Nf1+/- astrocytes) exhibit a cell autonomous growth advantage associated with increased RAS pathway activation. In this report, we extend our initial...
