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.

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.
