  1. Neurofibromatosis 1 Valerie Khodush March 27, 2007

  2. NF-1 Overview • Incidence – 1:3500 • Von Reckinghausen Disease • Tumor pre-disposing disease • Protein: neurofibromin (220-250kDa) • Tumor suppressor http://www.embl.de/groupOrProgrammeImage/285.jpg

  3. Remember Ras Gilbert Fig. 6.14

  4. NF1 is a Ras-Gap http://www.charite.de/ch/medgen/eumedis/embryology04/neurocutan-disorders/Slide4.png

  5. Mouse Knockout • Embryonic lethal at E12.5 to E13.5 • Cardiovascular problems • Organ development

  6. Mouse Knockout • Heterozygous mice develop different cancers • Learning and spatial memory • Double mutants (NF1+/- & p53+/-)

  7. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg

  8. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 • Similar to Rb function http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg

  9. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 • Similar to Rb function • Dominant versus recessive http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg

  10. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 • Similar to Rb function • Dominant versus recessive • Familial/de novo inheritance or spontaneous mutations http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg

  11. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 • Similar to Rb function • Dominant versus recessive • Familial/de novo inheritance or spontaneous mutations • Schwann cells/ LOH http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg

  12. Neurofibromin • Chromosome 17 • Similar to Rb function • Dominant versus recessive • Familial/de novo inheritance or spontaneous mutations • Schwann cells/ LOH • Isoforms http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/dynamicImages/chromomap/nf1.jpeg
