Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by caf,-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, skinfold freckles, Lisch nodules, bone deformities, learning disabilities, and predisposition to neoplasms. It is caused by various mutations of the NF1 gene. Recently a 3-bp in-frame deletion in exon 17, c.2970-2972 delAAT mutation, has been associated with a milder phenotype of NF1 manifesting with pigmentary skin changes only.
