What is Neurofibromatosis?
Neurofibromatosis, pronounced neuro-fibroma-tosis, is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in or on the body at any time. NF affects all races, all ethnic groups and both sexes equally. NF affects more people than Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy combined!
NF is a very complicated disorder with many variations. To assist you in your search for information about NF we have provided Useful Links as well as two videos.
