An Absence of Cutaneous Neurofibromas Associated with a 3-bp Inframe Deletion in Exon 17 of the NF1 Gene (c.2970-2972 delAAT): Evidence of a Clinically Significant NF1 Genotype-Phenotype Correlation

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by café-au-lait spots, skinfold freckling, and cutaneous neurofibromas. No obvious relationships between small mutations (

No obvious relationships between small mutations (&lt;20 bp) of the NF1 gene and a specific phenotype have previously been demonstrated, which suggests that interaction with either unlinked modifying genes and/or the normal NF1 allele may be involved in the development of the particular clinical features associated with NF1. We identified 21 unrelated probands with NF1 (14 familial and 7 sporadic cases) who were all found to have the same c.2970-2972 delAAT (p.990delM) mutation but no cutaneous neurofibromas or clinically obvious plexiform neurofibromas.
