Neurofibromatosis type 1: from genotype to phenotype.
Although neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a common Mendelian disorder with autosomal-dominant inheritance, its expression is highly variable and unpredictable. Many NF1 patients have been genotyped but few allele-phenotype correlations have been identified. NF1 genotype-phenotype correlations are difficult to identify because of the complexity of the NF1 phenotype, its strong age dependency, the re...
متن کاملNF1 microdeletions in neurofibromatosis type 1: from genotype to phenotype.
In 5-10% of patients, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) results from microdeletions that encompass the entire NF1 gene and a variable number of flanking genes. Two recurrent microdeletion types are found in most cases, with microdeletion breakpoints located in paralogous regions flanking NF1 (proximal NF1-REP-a and distal NF1-REP-c for the 1.4 Mb type-1 microdeletion, and SUZ12 and SUZ12P for the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of genotype-phenotype correlations in neurofibromatosis type 1.
N eurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease with complete penetrance and extremely variable expression, and an incidence of approximately 1 in 4000 live births. Despite the high incidence of NF1, neither the natural history nor the genetic epidemiology of the disorder are well understood. People with NF1 have reduced reproductive fitness and life expectancy, but the cause o...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis from genotype to phenotype: review article
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive genetic disease, which is caused by defection in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR gene codes chloride channels to modulate the homeostasis of epithelial environments. Defective CFTR affects various organs such as the lungs, pancreas, intestine, liver and skin; however, lung impairment is the mai...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of NF1 and Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in a Chinese Population
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease that is primarily characterized by multiple café au-lait spots (CALs) and skin neurofibromas, which are attributed to defects in the tumor suppressor NF1. Because of the age-dependent presentation of NF1, it is often difficult to make an early clinical diagnosis. Moreover, identifying genetic alterations in NF1 patients ...
