Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders. NF1 is clinically characterized by neurofibromas, pigmentation anomalies, and an increased risk of malignant tumors. The NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, has a GTPase-activating protein domain (GRD) that interacts with the Ras protein, which is crucial in regulating signal transduction and cell proliferation/differentiation. We...
