Neurofibromatosis type I
Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), also known as von Recklinghausen syndrome, is a common inherited disease. Along with neurofibromatosis type II (a.k.a. MISME syndrome), tuberous sclerosisSturge-Weber, and Von Hippel-Lindau disease, NF1 is a member of the phakomatoses or neurocutaneous syndromes, all of which have both neurologic and dermatologic lesions. This grouping is historical and based on disease pathology rather than genetic diagnosis.
