Descriptor neurofibromatosis
Scope note: Grupo de enfermedades caracterizadas por un patrón hereditario autosómico dominante con alta tasa de mutaciones espontáneas y de neurofibromas o neurilemmomas múltiples. La NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1 (neurofibromatosis generalizada) constituye aproximadamente el 95 por ciento de los casos, aunque se han descrito subtipos adicionales múltiples (p. ej., NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2, neurofibromatosis 3, etc.).

Scope note: A group of disorders characterized by an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with high rates of spontaneous mutation and multiple neurofibromas or neurilemmomas. NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1 (generalized neurofibromatosis) accounts for approximately 95% of cases, although multiple additional subtypes (e.g., NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2, neurofibromatosis 3, etc.) have been described.
