Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a genetic disorder marked by the growth of non-cancerous tumours along nerves. It often results in skin changes and bone deformities. Symptoms typically appear in childhood. Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is diagnosed through clinical evaluation, genetic testing, and imaging. Currently, no cure exists but treatments target symptom management.
