We have performed formal genetic studies on 26 patients (14 males, 12 females) with neurofibromatosis 1 (von Recklinghausen's disease, NF1) in Japan. Family studies of 74 members of 18 kindreds revealed that 50% of the cases were caused by a new mutation; the mutation rate was assumed to be 7.3-10.5
The relationship of paternal age to specific types of trisomy and to chromosomally normal loss was investigated in data drawn from a case-control study of spontaneous abortions. Differences in paternal age between karyotype groups and controls delivering after 28 weeks gestation were tested using an
Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis is characterized by a relatively large proportion of apparently nonfamilial cases, presumed spontaneous mutations. This paper analyzes the distribution of paternal and maternal ages for 187 patients with von Recklinghausen disease representing the first definite
