Abstract excerpt
We present two further cases of mutation R1947X in the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene. To date, a total of nine cases of mutation R1947X have been reported giving a frequency of about 2% and confirming the recurrence of this mutation. R1947X occurs within a CpG dinucleotide and supports the hypothesis that the mutation rate for this dinucleotide is higher than that of other dinucleotides. As routine analysis for...
