    Causes

    • Neurofibromatosis is caused by genetic mutations that are either inherited or are acquired spontaneously.
    • The disease follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance which means that a child can be affected even if one defective gene is inherited.
    • Mutations (defects) in NF1 gene result in abnormal/no neurofibromin protein which causes NF1. defects in NF2 gene cause abnormality in/loss of protein called merlin leading to NF2 disease. Both these proteins have a role in cell growth regulation.
    • The risk factors include:
    • Family history

    Prevention

    There are no preventive measures.

    What are the signs and symptoms of neurofibromatosis type 1?
    Signs of neurofibromatosis type 1 may include cafe au lait spots that can be present at birth, and other signs such as freckling in the axillary and inguinal regions. Common symptoms include the development of small benign tumors called neurofibromas, freckling in the armpits and groin, and Lisch nods (iris hamartomas).

    When does neurofibromatosis start?
    Symptoms of neurofibromatosis can be present at birth, while others develop as you age into an adult. For example, neurofibromas may show up on your baby’s skin when they’re born. In many cases, café au lait spots develop on your child’s skin during their first few years.

    What are the symptoms of neurofibromas?
    Neurofibromas, most commonly seen in patients with NF1, appear as multiple, rubbery lumps on or under the skin. They may be painful or itchy, but many do not cause any other symptoms.
