Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutation analysis of NF1, the responsible gene for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), is still difficult due to its large size, lack of mutational hotspots, the presence of many pseudogenes, and its wide spectrum of mutations. To develop a simple and inexpensive NF1 genetic testing for clinical use, we analyzed five Japanese families with NF1 as a pilot study. METHODS: Our original method, CEL...
