Abstract excerpt
In 5% to 10% of cases, neurofibromatosis type 1 is caused by microdeletions scattered across the entire NF1 gene and various neighboring genes. The phenotype appears to be more severe in patients with NF1 microdeletions than in patients with NF1 single point mutations. We have developed a new method for detecting and characterizing NF1 microdeletions based on a custom high-resolution oligonucleotide array...
