BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a tumor predisposition syndrome with a worldwide birth incidence of one in 2500. Genetic factors unrelated to the NF1 locus are thought to influence the number of plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) in patients with NF1, but no factors have been identified to date. METHODS: We used high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization of tissue from 22 PNFs obtained from...
