Body with cutaneous neurofibromas

Stanford University, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) is conducting a large study to understand how an individual’s genes affect their development of cutaneous neurofibromas and other features of NF1. The goal of this study is to identify genetic mutations that affect the clinical development of NF1 traits by studying the genome of 1000 people with NF1.

By participating in the study, you can help predict NF1 and contribute to improving NF1 care!!
