Von Recklinghausen's Neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), formerly known as von Recklinghausen disease after the researcher (Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen) who first documented the disorder, is a human genetic disorder. It is possibly the most common inherited disorder caused by a single gene. NF-1 is not to be confused with Proteus Syndrome. It is a separate disorder, although significant confusion remains in both the media and medical community regarding this fact.[1]. It is a RASopathy. In diagnosis it may also be confused with Legius syndrome.

NF-1 is a tumor disorder that is caused by the malfunction of a gene on chromosome 17 that is responsible for control of cell division. NF-1 causes non-cancerous lumps. NF-1 often comes with scoliosis (curvature of the spine), learning difficulties, eye problems, and epilepsy.

Re: Von Recklinghausen's Neurofibromatosis

There was no mention of it was painful to the person afflicted. It sure as hell has to be mentally painful as that is horrible.
