		Neurofibromatosis type 1 is present in approximately 100,000 people in the United States and so is the most common single-gene disease.
		Neurofibromatosis type 1 is characterized by multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous neurofibromas, ranging from a few (five--six required for diagnosis) to an uncountable number (Fig.
		Multiple microneuromas, averaging 2 to 3 mm in diameter, were left in situ in the ninth, 10th, and 11th cranial nerves, and a l-cm neuroma was left in situ in the fifth cranial nerve.

	Neurofibromatosis 2 - Genetics Home Reference
		Neurofibromatosis 2 is a disorder in which noncancerous tumors called schwannomas develop in cells that form the protective covering for nerves in the inner ear.
		Mutations in the NF2 gene cause neurofibromatosis 2.
		Neurofibromatosis 2 is considered to have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance because affected people may have affected relatives in successive generations (such as parents and children).

		Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by the presence of tumors that grow on both sides of the 8th cranial nerve which is responsible for hearing.
		This condition was once called “bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis or central neurofibromatosis.” The 8th cranial nerve is named the vestibulocochlear nerve for its two parts, the vestibular and cochlear parts of the inner ear where sound is transmitted to the brain for hearing.
		The treatment of NF 2 is usually surgical removal of the enlarged tumors on the 8th auditory nerve.

	Neurofibromatosis
		Neurofibromatosis, type 2, (NF-2) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the development of benign tumors on both auditory nerves (acoustic neuromas).
		NF-2 is an autosomal dominant genetic trait, meaning it affects both genders equally and that each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene.
		We are learning more about the function of the NF2 gene through studies of families with neurofibromatosis type 2 and through work in model organisms, particularly mice.

	Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF-2)
		Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF-2) is a rare genetic disorder that is primarily characterized by benign (noncancerous) tumors of the nerves that transmit sound impulses from the inner ears to the brain (bilateral acoustic neuromas vestibular schwannomas).
		The term "Neurofibromatosis" is sometimes also used to describe a second, distinct form of NF known as Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF-1).
		More common than NF-2, NF-1 is primarily characterized by the development of multiple noncancerous (benign) tumors of nerves and skin (neurofibromas) and areas of abnormally decreased or increased coloration (hypo- or hyperpigmentation) of the skin, such as pale tan or light brown discolorations (cafe-au-lait spots) on the skin of the trunk or other regions.

		Other or variant types of the neurofibromatoses may exist, but are not yet identified.
		Previously, NF1 was known as peripheral neurofibromatosis (or von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis) because some of the symptoms--skin spots and tumors--seemed to be limited to the outer nerves, or peripheral nervous system, of the affected person.
		It was formerly called bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis or central neurofibromatosis because the tumors, which cause progressive hearing loss, were thought to grow primarily on the auditory nerve, a branch of the eighth cranial nerve responsible for hearing.
