Neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), an autosomal dominant disorder localized to chromosome 17, is the most common of the neurocutaneous disorders.

NF manifests as changes in the skin, nervous system, bones and endocrine glands. The two major forms of NF are NF-1 and NF-2, both of which present with cutaneous findings such as café-au-lait spots and neurofibromas.
