    Extractions: The NF2 Crew is an online based support group for Patients and Families with Neuofibromatosis Type II. We are one of the largest NF2 based support groups in existance with over 200 members spanning the globe. Our "meetings" are held via e-mail (this especially works well as many with NF2 are Deafened or Hard of Hearing) along with occasional "Crew meetups" where members get together to meet in person Every member is either directly related to someone with NF2 or has NF2 themselves, though it can affect different people in different ways, one of the expressions we often hear from new members is "Wow, there is someone out there whose like me!" We share information on doctors, hospitals and treatments; as well as Non "tumor-talk" when you just need a break from NF2. Anything said is considered confidential, if a Crew member just needs to vent, share something of a personal nature or just ask a question, we want them to feel this is a safe haven. In memory of Jordan Harlow one of the Crew Founders

    Extractions: Abstract Gene Gene Variants Disease ... Medical Literature Search ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is caused by mutations of the NF1 gene, which is located at chromosome 17q11.2. The protein product, neurofibromin, has tumor suppressor activity and probably other functions as well. A wide variety of NF1 mutations have been found in patients with NF1. No frequently recurring mutation has been identified. No information is available currently on the distribution of NF1 mutations in different populations. Average life expectancy of patients with NF1 is probably reduced by at least 10 to 15 years. Malignancy is the most common cause of death, but hypertension appears to be significantly associated with mortality. Primary prevention of NF1 complications is not currently possible.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/disease/Neurofib.html
    
    Extractions: The NF2 gene has been mapped to chromosome 22 and is thought to be a so-called 'tumor- suppressor gene'. Like other tumor suppressor genes (such as p53 and Rb), the normal function of NF2 is to act as a brake on cell growth and division, ensuring that cells do not divide uncontrollably, as they do in tumors. A mutation in NF2 impairs its function, and accounts for the clinical symptoms observed in neurofibromatosis sufferers. NF-2 is an autosomal dominant genetic trait, meaning it affects both genders equally and that each child of an affected parent has a 50%% chance of inheriting the gene. We are learning more about the function of the NF2 gene through studies of families with neurofibromatosis type 2 and through work in model organisms, particularly mice. The exact molecular function of NF2 in the cell is still unknown, although the protein is similar to the ERM family of cytoskeleton-membrane linker proteins. Further work on the binding partners of NF2 would help to identify potential specific targets for future drug therapies.

    Extractions: Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a condition that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue, producing skin and bone abnormalities. NF is often diagnosed in childhood, occasionally in infancy but usually around 3-16 years of age. The effects of the disease vary widely. Some children might live almost unaffected by the condition. Although rare, others might be severely disabled. Children with more severe forms of the disorder are usually diagnosed in infancy. Although there's no specific cure for NF, tumors can usually be removed and related complications can be treated. Children with NF may need special schooling because learning disabilities are seen in about half of children with the disease. What Is Neurofibromatosis? Neurofibromatosis is a neurocutaneous syndrome , it's passed down through the parents' genes, and it affects the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and skin. Neurofibromatosis is defined by tumors, called neurofibromas Neurofibromas can often be removed. Although usually benign (noncancerous), they can sometimes become cancerous (in an estimated 5% of cases). There are two types of neurofibromatosis, referred to as

    Extractions: What's New? The commonest form of NF is NF1 which affects about 1 in 3,500 people. The gene affected in NF1 is located on chromosome 17. Each person with NF1, even within the same family can be affected to a different extent. Many people only develop skin changes and Lisch nodules, which are harmless. 20-40% of people will develop a medical problem related to NF1 which may require treatment. The commonest important complications are: plexiform neurofibromas: larger lumps involving a group of nerves. They can occur in or under the skin or internally. Large plexiform neurofibromas are difficult to completely remove surgically. Occasionally, plexiform neurofibromas can become cancerous.
