Answer:

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a hereditary disorder caused by an alteration – called a mutation – in the NF1 gene, which is located on chromosome 17. The NF1 gene contains a code of instructions for making a protein called neurofibromin, which is produced in many cells, including nerve cells and specialized cells surrounding nerves (Schwann cells). The neurofibromin protein acts as a tumor suppressor, preventing cells from growing and dividing too rapidly. The NF1 gene mutation leads to the production of a nonfunctional or absent neurofibromin protein that is unable to regulate cell growth and division, resulting in the growth of neurofibromas (skin tumors) along nerves throughout the body.
