    Extractions: While many will have never heard of neurofibromatosis, most people know something about Muscular Dystrophy or Cystic Fibrosis, and yet, with a birth incidence of 1 in 2,500 - which means around 24,000 people are affected in the UK - Neurofibromatosis (Nf for short) is nearly as common as Cystic Fibrosis. On a world-wide basis it is five times more common than Muscular Dystrophy. Why, you may wonder, is it possible that there is a disorder which affects so many people and yet still is so little known? A disorder which can occur in any family, frequently causes learning difficulties and behavioural problems, affects the body's vital nervous system and can lead to serious complications and, occasionally, even premature death. Well, like everything else about neurofibromatosis, it isn't simple. To begin with, there are two different types of neurofibromatosis, "neurofibromatosis type one" and "neurofibromatosis type two" which we refer to as Nf1 and Nf2. To simplify things here, most of the following information is about Nf1. Secondly, the name doesn't help - NEURO-FIBROMA-TOSIS - and, with its political connotations in the UK, the fact that it is called Nf for short, can be quite a problem.

    Extractions: Qui som? Al Novembre de 1996, un petit grup d'afectades de NF, va constituir el Grup d'Ajuda Mútua de la Neurofibromatosi (GAM) - Nefi . Poc a poc es va aplegar gent de Catalunya i d'altres indrets d'Espanya, fins que es va veure la necessitat de tenir una organització que ens representés i mitjançant la qual poguéssim actuar i fer-nos sentir. El Gener del 1998 va néixer l' Associació Catalana de les Neurofibromatosis (ACNefi), que és una associació d'ajuda mútua sense ànim de lucre i des d'aleshores oferim ajuda a afectats i als seus familiars mitjançant els grups d'ajuda mútua, activitats informativas i quaderns divulgatius sobre la malaltia. Millorar la qualitat de vida dels afectats de la NF oferint: Suport i assessorament tant als afectats com a llurs familiars, orientant-los a la rehabilitació física, psicològica, i a recuperar l'autoestima perduda. Informació, per mitjà de seminaris, cursos, conferències, publicacions, i congressos, del coneixement que se'n tingui de la NF i dels avenços realitzats pel seu reconeixement, prevenció i tractament.

Las neurofibromatosis son trastornos genéticos del sistema nervioso que afectan principalmente al desarrollo y crecimiento de los tejidos de las células neurales (nerviosas). Estos trastornos ocasionan tumores que crecen en los nervios y producen otras anormalidades tales como cambios en la piel y deformidades en los huesos. Las neurofibromatosis ocurren en ambos sexos y en todas las razas y grupos étnicos. Los científicos han clasificado los trastornos como neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1) y neurofibromatosis tipo 2 (NF2). Existen otros tipos o variantes de neurofibromatosis, pero éstos no han sido definidos aún. ¿Qué es la Neurofibromatosis Tipo 1 (NF1)?

    Extractions: Photos which demonstrate different visible aspects of Neurofibromatosis, Type 1 Note: The photos on this page are amateur photos, taken by me. They are intended solely to give the average person an idea of what some of these aspects of the disease look like, and should not be used as references for making a diagnosis of NF-1. This image shows a rather large cafe au lait (CAL) spot which extends nearly to the first knuckles on the back of the hand, and about 2 inches above the wrist. Click on picture for a larger image. This photo shows a moderate number of small to medium neurofibroma tumors. Another condition sometimes associated with NF-1 is pectus excavatum , or sunken chest, which is a congenital deformity of the ribcage. For more information on pectus excavatum, visit this very informative site.

    Extractions: Overview Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic neurological disorder that affects cell growth in nerve tissue. NF produces tumors of the skin, internal organs, and nerves that may become cancerous (malignant). It also can affect bones, causing severe pain and debilitation and may result in learning disabilities, behavioral dysfunction, and hearing and vision loss. There is no cure for neurofibromatosis.

Because renal disease (particularly renal artery stenosis), aortic stenosis, pheochromocytomas (more common in adults) and adrenal tumors may occur, regular and careful blood pressure measurements are important. A variety of vascular hypertrophic lesions may be found.

    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.
