Loss of neurofibromin in adrenal gland tumors from patients with neurofibromatosis type I
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
The neurofibromatosis type I gene encodes a protein, neurofibromin, which may function as a tumor suppressor gene product. Recent studies have demonstrated loss of neurofibromin in tumors from NF1 and non-NF1 patients, including neurofibrosarcomas, neuroblastomas and malignant melanomas.
