Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a clinically variable disorder caused mostly by small mutations within the NF1 gene on chromosome 17q11.2. We used Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and radioactive sequencing to screen NF1 exons 28 and 29 from 118 unrelated patients, diagnosed with NF1 accor
