Neurofibromatosis NF se encuentra en cada grupo racial y étnico en todo el mundo y afecta a ambos sexos por igual. Ambos tipos son causados por genes anormales. No pueden "cogerse" de alguien que tiene NF. En el pasado se creía que la deformidad representada en el libro, la obra de teatro y la película llamados "El Hombre Elefante" [ The Elephant Man Un signo temprano común de NF1 es seis manchas o más de color canela en la piel. Se llaman manchas "café-au-lait" (francés para "café con leche"). Estas manchas a menudo están presentes al nace r y puede aumentar en tamaño y número con la edad. También pueden volverse más oscuras. Más de la mitad de los niños afectados tienen algunos signos de NF1 a los 2 años de edad. Algunos tumores pueden crecer en los nervios ópticos (del ojo) y en los casos raros pueden dificultar la visión. "Nódulos de Lisch" (tumores pequeños) diminutos de color canela o cafés a menudo aparecen en el iris (parte de color del ojo), pero estos no causan dificultad. Generalmente aparecen alrededor de la edad de 6 a 10 años y pueden ayudar a un médico diagnosticar NF1. NF2 es caracterizado por tumores que crecen en lo que se denomina el 8 o La herencia del gen es "autosómica dominante", así que el(la) niño(a) de un(a) padre(madre) con NF tiene unas perspectivas de 50-50 de heredar el gen de NF y de presentar al menos algunos signos de la neurofibromatosis ta rde o temprano. El(La) niño(a) también tiene una posibilidad de 50-50 de heredar el compañero normal del gen de NF (ya que genes vienen en pares) y permanecer libre de NF.

KYPHOSCOLIOSIS AND NEUROFIBROMATOSIS MARTIN JENTER, D.O., Orthopaedic Resident KIRK DABNEY, M.D., Attending Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon January 31, 1996 CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATION ORTHOPAEDIC DEPARTMENT THE ALFRED I. DUPONT INSTITUTE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE CASE HISTORY: HISTORY: This male child was diagnosed at age 3 with Neurofibromatosis type 1. At the age of eleven years old he presented to the Institute with a complaint of thoracic back pain (1991) after two years of observation of a thoracic scoliosis. PHYSICAL EXAM: His presentation includes multiple cafe-au-lait spots larger than 1.5 cm and Lisch nodules and his mother is diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1. XRAYS: At his first visit the patient was diagnosed with a kyphoscoliosis that measured 62 degrees of a right thoracic T3-T7 curve and a 62 degree thoracic kyphosis . His initial X-rays revealed posterior body scalloping and enlarged foramina consistent with neurofibromatosis . The patient had no known illnesses, showed no evidence of developmental delay and was active in school sports. He denied any neurologic symptoms. TREATMENT: FOLLOW-UP: Physical Findings: Significant findings are the cafe-au-lait spots on torso and extremities, axillary and inguinal freckling, plexiform neuroma right flank, obvious kyphosis and scoliosis with shortened trunk in relation to extremities, ligamentous laxity of fingers and elbow. Gait, reflexes and neuromuscular exam are all normal.

Genetic Science Learning Center at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics University of Utah Home ... Full Medical Reports Neurofibromatosis 1 Neurofibromatosis 1 Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the development and growth of cells in the nervous system. The disorder can cause neurofibromas (tumors to grow on nerves), freckling, cafe-au-lait spots (light brown spots on the skin), learning disabilities and bone deformities. The type and severity of symptoms shown by NF1 patients can vary widely, even between affected individuals from the same family. Genetics The NF1 gene, located on chromosome 17, produces a large and complex protein called neurofibromin. Scientists theorize that this protein acts as a switch to regulate cell growth. Inheritance Autosomal dominant. However, about 50 percent of cases are caused by spontaneous new mutations in the NF1 gene that occur in the sperm or egg prior to fertilization. This mutant allele can then be passed on to the individual's offspring. Incidence NF1 is one of the most common dominantly inherited genetic disorders with an incidence of 1 in 3,500 - 4000. The incidence of spontaneous mutations in the NF1 gene is 1 in 10,000. This is one of the highest known mutation rates for a disorder associated gene. The reason for this is currently under investigation, but may be due to the large size of the NF1 gene.
