Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1), caused by heterozygous inactivation of the NF1 tumour suppressor gene, is associated with the development of benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs). Although numerous germline NF1 mutations have been identified, relatively few somatic NF1 mutations have been described in neurofibromas. Here we have screened 109 cutaneous neurofibromas, excised from 46...
