Summary

This study collected genetic information from over 1,000 adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) to find out why some people get more skin tumors than others. Researchers built a biobank and analyzed DNA to identify gene variants linked to tumor development. The goal is to better understand the disease and personalize future care.
