The two main peripheral nerve sheath tumors found in patients with neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1), are neurofibroma, a benign tumor, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). The tumors are related in that most MPNSTs are thought to arise by malignant transformation of neurofibromas. Suc

## Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian One of the main features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is benign neurofibromas, 10-20% of which become transformed into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). The molecular basis of NF1 tumorigenesis is, however, still unclear. Ninety-one tumors
