Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a frequent hereditary disorder. The disease is characterized by a very high mutation rate (up to 1/10000 gametes per generation). NF1-related loci in the human genome have been implicated in the high mutation rate by hypothesizing that these carry disease-causing mutations, which can be transferred to the functional NF1 gene on chromosome arm 17q by interchromosomal gene...
