We report a 21-year-old male with symptomatic optic glioma who does not fulfill the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) according to standard NIH criteria. Analysis of the NF1 gene revealed a recurrent mutation in exon 37 (C6792A or Y2264X). This nonsense mutation causes skipping of exon 37 durin
