International Center for Neurofibromatosis NF1 Therapy Belgrade Madtec Information Center * Besserer Str. 24/2 * D-89073 Ulm * Germany Diese Seite in Deutsch, bitte This therapy was established by Dr. D. Katalinic list of literature of several of his works. NF 1 therapy as practiced by Dr. Katalinic and Dr Ciric aims at removing all tumors from the patient's skin. It is performed by laser beam using a combination of carbon dioxide and YAG lasers that develops extremely powerful action enabling substantially radical removal of the tumors. Laser surgery was adopted for treatment of NF 1, because as many as 1,000 fibromas may need to be removed. During the past 10 years, the Center for Neurofibromatosis Therapy has treated several hundred patients in multiple sessions. Treatment is carried out on an in-patient basis under general anesthesia at the modern health care facilities of modern Private Clinic - Laser Center in Belgrade. The results of treatment are highly positive. By being relieved of the unsightly and troublesome tumors, patients experience distinct improvement in their psychological well-being and quality of life.

More of this Feature "Both forms of NF are autosomal dominant genetic disorders which may be inherited from a parent who has NF or may be the result of a new or spontaneous mutation (change) in the sperm or egg cell. Each child of a parent with NF has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene and developing NF. The type of NF inherited by the child is always the same as that of the affected parent (i.e. if the parent has NF1, each child is at 50% risk for NF1. If the parent has NF2, each child has a 50% chance to inherit NF2), although the severity and the kind of manifestations may differ from person to person within a family."

Whitehall Foundation FY 98 Neurofibromatosis Research Program - Investigator-Initiated Research The United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is soliciting applications for investigator-initiated neurofibromatosis (NF) research. USAMRMC is looking for innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators into the field of NF research. The central theme of this announcement is innovation. The goal of these awards is to sponsor basic research leading to clinical trials relevant to NF that will result in substantial improvements in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of NF, and that will enhance the quality of life for persons living with the disease. Please note that post-doctoral traineeships are being offered as an optional part of Investigator-Initiated Research proposals. The intent of these nested post-doctoral traineeships is to enable recent doctoral graduates with limited post-doctoral experience (less than five years) to either extend ongoing research related to NF or broaden the scope of their research to include work relevant to NF under the guidance of a designated mentor who is submitting a proposal. These nested post-doctoral traineeships can be requested for an average of $42,000 inclusive of indirect costs for a maximum of $126,000 over three years.

Plexiform neurofibromas. These ill-defined, soft subcutaneous swellings are usually evident at birth resulting from the diffuse thickening of nerve trunks located in the orbital or temporal region of the face. Optic nerve gliomas. Such benign, nonprogressive tumors have the potential to enlarge rapidly, causing proptosis and visual consequences. Family history of distinctive osseous lesions.

Previous Section This Issue- Table of Contents Next Section Management of Common Genetic Disorders Vol. 16: Summer, 1998 Neurofibromatosis 1 (von Recklinghausen disease) Introduction Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a progressive multisystem disorder which affects approximately 1 in 3,000 individuals. NF1 is an autosomal dominant disorder with a high degree of penetrance, widely variable clinical expression, and a high frequency of new mutations, with only half of patients having an affected parent. Affected individuals have a 50% risk of transmitting the disorder to their children. However, parents of a child with a new mutation are not at an increased risk to have another affected child. The gene for NF1 is located on the long arm of chromosome 17 at band q11.2. It codes for a protein, called neurofibromin, which is thought to be a tumor suppresser. A number of point mutations and gene deletions have been identified in affected individuals. Commercial DNA testing for NF1 is offered as a protein truncation test, which does not detect all mutations. Due to controversy regarding the application of this test, the current standard of diagnosis remains clinical. In familial cases, prenatal diagnosis using DNA linkage analysis may be available. Clinical Features The diagnosis of NF1 requires the presence of 2 or more of the National Institutes of Health criteria including: 6 or more cafe-au-lait spots of at least 5 mm. in diameter before puberty and 15 mm. in diameter after puberty;

La Asociación es la persona jurídica que nos representa, mediante la cual podemos actuar y hacernos oír. ¿Quienes somos? En Noviembre de 1996, un pequeño grupo de afectados de NF, constituyó el Grupo de Ayuda Mutua de la Neurofibromatosis (GAM) - Nefi . Poco a poco se ha ido uniendo gente de Cataluña y de otros lugares de España, hasta que se vio la necesidad de tener una organización que nos representara y mediante la cual pudiéramos actuar y hacernos oír. En Enero de 1998 nació la Associació Catalana de les Neurofibromatosis (ACNefi), que es una asociación de ayuda mutua sin ánimo de lucro y desde entonces ofrecemos ayuda a afectados y a familiares mediante los grups de ayuda mutua, actividades informativas y cuadernos divulgativos sobre la enfermedad. ¿Que queremos? Nuestra misión es: Mejorar la calidad de vida de los afectados de la NF, ofreciendo: Ayuda y asesoramiento tanto a los afectados como a sus familiares, orientándolos a la rehabilitación física, psicológica y a recuperar la autoestima perdida. Información, por medio de seminarios, cursos, conferencias, publicaciones y congresos, del conocimiento que se tenga de la NF y de los avances realizados para su reconocimiento, prevención y tratamiento.

Treatments of both generally involve taking care of the symptoms. Neurofibromatosis Definition Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of the nervous system. It causes tumors to grow on nerves and produces other abnormalities such as skin changes and bone deformities. It occurs in 1 in every 3,000 to 4,000 births. Symptoms may appear as early as birth, but usually by age 10. Most symptoms are mild and people can lead normal and productive lives. However, some symptoms can be severely debilitating. About 50 percent of the people affected with NF have a prior family history. Neurofibromatosis has been divided into two types, NF1 and NF2.
