Effector T cell subclasses associate with tumor burden in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients

Abstract excerpt

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a hereditary tumor syndrome caused by mutations of the NF1 gene and resulting dysregulation of the Ras-pathway. In addition to peripheral nerve tumors, affected tissues include the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system.
