Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1, (NF1) is a complex, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by benign and malignant tumors which result from NF1 gene mutations. The molecular mechanisms that underlie NF1 tumorigenesis are still poorly understood although inactivation of other modifying loci in conjunction with NF1 mutations is postulated to be involved. These modifying loci may include deficiencies in mismatch repair...
