Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common genetic disorder caused by inactivation of neurofibromin, a protein capable of modulating signal transduction by activating Ras-GTPase activity. We have used cDNA cloning and Northern blot analysis to confirm the NF1 gene produces alternatively polyadeny...
