Methods of classical segregation analysis were applied to a sample of 129 sibships with one or more individuals affected by neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1). The sample consists only of subjects with NF-1; all the probands had been referred for genetic counselling because of cafΓ©-au-lait spots, and a diag

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
## Communicated by Robert Williamson We have examined a panel of 115 unrelated N F l individuals for mutation in the 3' region of the N F l gene, using Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction amplification of exons followed by singlestrand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. We foun
Communicated by Marc S. Greenblatt Constitutional heterozygous inactivating mutations in the neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene cause the autosomal dominant disease NF2, and biallelic inactivating somatic NF2 mutations are found in a high proportion of unilateral sporadic vestibular sch
Experimental studies have shown that the fidelity of DNA replication can be affected by the concentrations of free deoxyribonucleotides present in the cell. Replication of mammalian chromosomes is achieved using pools of newly-synthesized deoxyribonucleotides which fluctuate during the cell cycle. S
