Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by clinical features that primarily affect tissues derived from the neural crest (neurofibromas, caf~-aulait macules). Because aberrant regulation of alternative splicing in the NF1 gene transcript may be of functional significance, cultured melanocyte

## Abstract The neurofibromatosis type 1 (__NF__1) gene encodes a 360‐residue region showing significant homology to the catalytic domains of both mammalian GTPase‐activating protein (GAP) and yeast IRA protein. The product of the GAP‐related domain of the __NF__1 gene (__NF__1‐GRD) has been shown
Neurofibromatosis type 1 ("1) is one of the most common inherited disorders, with an incidence of 1 in 3,000. We screened a total of 320 unrelated NF1 patients for mutations in exon 37 of the NF1 gene. Six independent mutations were identified, of which three are novel, and these include a recurrent
A nonsense mutation (c.729C>A, Y243X) in exon 7 of the PDHA1 gene in a patient with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency results in aberrant splicing of the primary transcript with production of stable mRNAs which lack either both exons 6 and 7 or exon 7 alone. Transfection and expression of genomic co
