<i>SPRED1</i> mutations (Legius syndrome): another clinically useful genotype for dissecting the neurofibromatosis type 1 phenotype
13 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations of the SPRED1 gene, one of a family of Sprouty (Spry)/Spred proteins known to "downregulate" mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling, have been identified in patients with a mild neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) phenotype with pigmentary changes but no neurofibromas (Legius syndrome).To ascertain the frequency of SPRED1 mutations as a cause of this phenotype and to investigate...
