Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of numerous tumors on nerves, skin changes, and bone deformities. This condition is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth. Symptoms may include café-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, and learning disabilities. Effective management involves regular monitoring, surgical interventions for tumor removal, and supportive therapies for associated symptoms. Genetic counseling is also recommended for affected families.
