Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis(NF) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by disordered growth of ectodermal tissues, and is part of a group of disorders called Phakomatoses (neurocutaneous syndrome).
NF is divided in two Types:
Neurofibromatosis 1(Von Recklinghausen's disease)
Neurofibromatosis 1(NF1) is characterized by spots of increased skin pigmentation(café au lait spots), combined with peripheral nerve tumors and a variety of others dysplastic abnormalities of the skin, nervous system, bones, endocrine organs and blood vessels. Etiology The reponsible gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 17 Epidemiology Its incidence is 1 per 3.000 births and present in about 30 persons per 10.000 population. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but about 50 percent of cases arise as mutations. Pathology The peripheral nerve tumors of two types, schwannomas and neurofibromas. Both types of tumor occasionally become malignant. Clinical Manifestations The pigmented spots are irregular in shape with relatively even borders, vary in size, and are of brownish coffe color(café au lait). They are most proeminent over the trunk, in the axilla(axillary freckles), and about the pelve.

NF-1 AND NF-2 NEUROSURGERY
Ann-Marie Yost, M.D.
Department of Neurosurgery
George Washington University Medical Center
Mary Ann Wilson: George Washington University Hospital still has its affiliation with Children's National Medical Center which is the pediatric unit of George Washington University. Our chapter has a long standing relationship with George Washington University. One thing you may have realized in thinking about medical care for someone with neurofibromatosis (NF) is that you might not really know when a neurosurgeon should be called in to be part of the team. We thought it might be helpful to know just what a neurosurgeon does. It is different with NF1 and different with NF2. Dr. Yost will be talking about both NF 1 and NF2.
Dr. Yost: I want to thank you for the opportunity to pinch-hit for Dr. Martuza. He has some really big shoes to fill. I am not going to deal with the areas of genetic research and genetic therapy. I will just talk to you about what we as neurosurgeons have to offer for the patients with NF1 and NF2. I'll start with NF1. I assume that most of you are familiar with the criteria for diagnosis. NF1, which was known as Peripheral Neurofibromatosis, is much more common than NF2. It occurs in 1/4000 births, whereas NF2 occurs in 1/40,000. They both have an autosomal dominant form of genetic transmission. This means that a child has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease if one parent has it and that inheriting the gene definitely means getting the disease. The abnormality in NF1 is found on a very large gene on chromosome 17 which has a very high mutation rate. Although in both NF1 and NF2, 100% of the people who have the genes are affected by the disorder, there is a much higher degree of variability in the symptoms of NF 1, because the mutations can occur in different spots on the larger gene (variable penetrance).

CTF's Commitment to NF Research
Since 1978, Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) has been committed to supporting and promoting scientific research that will ultimately lead to the development of therapies and cures for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), schwannomatosis and related disorders.
CTF funds scientific research, currently focusing on encouraging young investigators early in their careers to carve out a career in NF research. CTF convenes world-class meetings to bring together scientists to share ideas and scientific meetings and develop collaborations. CTF works closely with government funding agencies to share information and resources. Our efforts help secure special congressional NF research funds each year that make a real difference to the progress of research - $25 million in 2005!
Created the first national research program on NF in the world?
