Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the NF1 gene. The mutation rate of NF1 is one of the highest known for human genes and the mutational analysis has revealed a wide variety of changes, a significant proportion of which affect normal pre-mRNA splicing. Here, we describe two truncating mutations in exon 37 of NF1, the recurrent c.6792C>A and the novel...
