Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Home ... Full Medical Reports 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. 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. 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. 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.
