MeSH Heading: Neurofibromatoses
Tree Number(s): C04.557.580.600.580.590; C04.700.631; C10.562.600; C10.574.500.549; C16.320.400.560; C16.320.700.633
Unique ID: D017253
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017253
Annotation: multiple neurofibromas; specifics are available
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.
