Abstract

SUMMARY: Neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 are a group of neurocutaneous syndromes resulting from disorders in cell regulation. Despite sharing a common name, neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 are quite distinct phakomatoses, both clinically and genetically.

ABBREVIATIONS:

NF-1
neurofibromatosis type 1
NF-2
neurofibromatosis type 2
MAPK
ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway
