There are two types of neurofibromatosis. NF1 is the less serious version of the disease and occurs in one out of every 4,000 or so births. It is often diagnosed early due to the presence of “café au lait” spots on the skin. The neurofibromas are generally small and can be removed...
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) Schwannomatosis (SWN) Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the more common type, mostly affecting the nerves of the peripheral nervous system. Usually, symptoms ...

Infections, such asLyme disease,shingles, orAIDS Vitamin deficiency (B12 andfolic acid) What is neuropathy? Neuropathy is the damage or dysfunction of the nerves. Nerves are the fibers that transmit sensations to the brain or spinal cord. Any nerve damage results in tingling, weakness of the m...
Cardiovascular effects are relatively common in patients with NF-1 due to coartation of the aorta, renal artery stenosis or PHEO [6]. Cardiovascular complications induced by pheochromocytoma associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen's disease)--case report and review of literature Or...
People with dysfunctional NF1 genes have Neurofibromatosis Type 1. People with HHV-8 have ___ disease. Definition Outputs Analytical sensitivity Analytical specificity Reliability Reproducibility Interfering substances Limit of detection Clinical sensitivity Clinical specificity Positive predictive value Negative...
The growth of most GISTs is driven by oncogenic mutations in either of two receptor tyrosine kinases: KIT (75% of cases) or PDGFRA (10%). Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib is effective in controlling unresectable disease; however, ...
How is a gene determined to be autosomal recessive? Can a pedigree be autosomal dominant and recessive? Is NF1 autosomal dominant? Can an allele be sex-linked and autosomal? Can a pedigree be x-linked dominant and autosomal dominant?
1). Resistance mechanisms Although sotorasib and adagrasib have shown promising activity in those patients with tumors harboring KRAS G12C mutations, ultimately, progression of disease is often times inevitable. Studies have started to uncover the mechanisms of acquired resistance. From an in vitro...
