Get to know the rare disease Neurofibromatosis, starting from the symptoms, causes, to the risk factors for this genetic disorder NF 1 and NF2.

Schwannomatosis Schwannomatosis is a rare form of neurofibromatosis that is genetically different from Nf1 and Nf2. It affects fewer than 1 in 40,000 people.

Acoustic Neuroma Causes There are two types of acoustic neuroma: a sporadic form and a form associated with a syndrome called neurofibromatosis type II (NF2).

Patients with a genetic syndrome called NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) have tumors that develop on the covering of the brain or grow along the nerves in the brain, spinal cord, and/or other ...

Whitney Bliesner has NF2, a medical condition that makes pregnancy dangerous, and couldn't afford a surrogate. So her twin sister, former ASU player Jill Noe, made her a life-changing offer.

New research could offer hope to the thousands of, mainly young, people affected by the hereditary condition Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). In addition to NF2 disease there could be potential benefit ...

Neurofibromatosis type 2 is caused by a change in the NF2 gene located on chromosome 22. This gene encodes a protein known as merlin. Mutations in the NF2 gene disrupt the function of merlin, which is ...

Vestibular schwannomas related to neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) are difficult to manage and are sometimes treated with a noninvasive option, stereotactic radiosurgery.

The proteins that provide cells with a sense of personal space could lead to a therapeutic target for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), an inherited cancer disorder, according to researchers. Their ...

Heterozygous Nf2+/− -mutant mice develop a spectrum of unusually highly metastatic tumours, mainly osteosarcomas, fibrosarcomas, and liver carcinomas, that exhibit loss of the wild-type allele.

The most common form of VRD is NF1. This disease causes tumors called neurofibromas in the tissues and organs of the body. According to the Dental Research Journal, VRD is one of the most common ...
