There are three major clinically and genetically distinct forms of neurofibromatosis: neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 (NF1 and NF2) and schwannomatosis. NF1, also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common type. The hallmarks of NF1 are the multiple café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas. The condition is called segmental NF1 when clinical features are limited to one area of the body.A genetic study of 124 cases of neurofibromatosis was performed. The contingent of probands was mainly represented by a Russian population, most of the individuals being born in the European part of the RSFSR.
Both parents of the probands were examined in only 58 cases, the proportion of sporadic cases in this group being 0.79, as compared to 0.77 for the whole group under study. The existing data evaluated by a direct method are not yet sufficient for a decisive estimation of the penetrance, which, however, cannot be under 80%. Soft-tissue sarcomas, which result in approximately 10,700 diagnoses and 3,800 deaths per year in the United States1, show remarkable histologic diversity, with more than 50 recognized subtypes2. However, knowledge of their genomic alterations is limited. We describe an integrative analysis of DNA sequence, copy number and mRNA expression in 207 samples encompassing seven major subtypes.
