In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disease that can cause many symptoms. About half of people with NF1 will develop benign (noncancerous) tumors along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. Sometimes, though, these tumors can become cancerous. Researchers do not yet know how to predict which tumors will become cancerous. Objective: To test a new method for predicting which benign NF1 tumors will become cancerous. Eligibility: People aged 3 years and older with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of NF1. Design: * Participants will be screened with a review of their medical history. All participants will have a baseline visit. They will have bood tests and imaging scans. They will have a physical exam. They will answer questions about their family history. Participants aged 8 years and older will take tests of their thinking skills and their emotio
