Neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant) - what does this mean
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that occurs when a person has a mutation in the nf1 gene. this gene mutation causes tumors to grow on the nerves of the body, as well as in the brain and other areas. the tumors are usually nonmalignant, meaning they are not cancerous, but they can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area.
What happens during the disease - neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant)
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by the alteration of the nf1 gene. this gene is responsible for the production of proteins that regulate cell growth and division. the mutation of this gene causes an overproduction of these proteins, resulting in the formation of tumors along the nerves, which can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms. in addition, the tumor growth can cause nerve damage, pain, and other neurological impairments.
