Title: Mutation detection of NF1 gene in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1
Abstract: Objective
To detect NF1 gene mutations in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) .
Methods
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing were performed to detect mutations of the NF1 gene in a patient with NF1, his parents and 100 unrelated healthy controls.
Results
A novel frameshift mutation (c.3822delC) was identified in the patient, but not found in his parents or the unrelated healthy controls.
Conclusion
The novel frameshift mutation (c.3822delC) found in the patient is not a rare single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) , and may be a causative mutation for NF1 by affecting the function of the NF1 gene.
