Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), affecting primarily the growth of neural crest-derived tissues, is one of the most common autosomal dominant genetic disorders with an unusually high spontaneous mutation rate. In four cases of sporadic NF1, demonstrated by hemizygosity to have a deletion involving the NF1 gene, we were able to assign the deletion event to the maternally derived chromosome. One of these individuals...
