Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant disorder with broad clinical variability, making diagnosis in pediatric patients particularly challenging due to age-dependent penetrance and variable expressivity. In this study, we analyzed 536 unrelated Chinese children with clinical suspicion of NF1 using optimized whole-exome sequencing (WES) enhanced by targeted probe enrichment and exon-level...
