1 Neurofibromatosis Information Leaflet
2 What is Neurofibromatosis? Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the world s most common neuro-genetic conditions. The effect on families can be devastating, more so because they are unlikely to have heard of NF before diagnosis and won t know where to find help. What is NF1? Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder causing usually benign (non-cancerous) tumour growth in the nerve tissue. It affects one in every 2,500 people worldwide and there are around 25,000 people living with NF in the UK. Half of those affected occur in families with no previous history of NF1. NF1 can start for the first time in any family, but if you or your partner already have the condition, there is a 50% chance your child will develop NF. What are the signs for diagnosis? Six or more coffee coloured marks (café au lait spots) on the skin in the first five years of life Confirming feature e.g. freckling in unusual places, lisch nodules Possible complications Benign (non-cancerous) skin lumps (neurofibromas) Large disfiguring benign tumours (plexiform neurofibromas) Tumour growth along optical nerves (sight may be affected) Curvature of the spine (scoliosis) Brain and spinal tumours Internal tumours, usually benign Increased risk of epilepsy Malformation of the long bones (pseudarthrosis). This can cause problems for children s leg development and may result in operations or amputation Speech problems and learning difficulties and/or behavioural problems, that can lead to social isolation Find out more at
3 NF1 or NF2? NF1 and NF2 are separate and different conditions. The severity will vary from person to person and whilst some may live a normal life, many of those with NF could have multiple medical, physical and psychological complications. What is NF2? Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder of the nerve tissue. It is rarer than NF1, affecting one in every 30,000 people worldwide. There are over 1000 in the UK and, as with NF1, an affected person has a 50% chance of passing on the altered gene to their children. What are the signs for diagnosis? Symptoms of NF2 are less distinct than symptoms of NF1. Around 90% of patients develop tumours on the nerves responsible for hearing and balance. This can cause some of the following symptoms: Gradual hearing loss, that usually gets worse over time Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus) Balance problems, particularly when moving in the dark or walking on uneven ground Other complications of NF2 can include: Benign brain tumours (meningiomas) Tumours in the spinal cord (meningiomas, schwannomas), Cataracts, affecting vision Skin tumours (schwannomas) Treatment of Neurofibromatosis There is currently no cure for NF, but complications can be managed by medication, speech & language or behavioural therapies for learning difficulties and behavioural problems. Surgery is the principal treatment for many of the symptoms for both NF1 and NF2 as well as radiotherapy to treat tumours. Our website features a detailed Knowledge Hub for all things NF!
4 The Neuro Foundation Our vision is to improve the lives of those affected by Neurofibromatosis. Every day a baby is born in the UK with Neurofibromatosis. There are over 25,000 people in the UK affected by the condition and as yet, there is no cure. Our Work Specialist Support Our primary focus is on developing and funding a team of Specialist Advisors, who provide crucial support to patients and families. They give vital support in homes, schools and hospital clinics, offering practical and emotional support. National NF Helpline We have a National Helpline that covers the whole of the UK. Rosemary Ashton manages the helpline and is available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9am-5pm on or you can her at Rosemary@nfauk.org. Knowledge Hub We know that it is not just patients who need information on NF. Family, friends, medical professionals, educators and employers often need information on how best to support those with NF. We provide detailed information sheets which you can find on our website Solidarity & Research We support research into the treatment and prevention of NF. We also generate campaigns to raise awareness of the condition and the challenges it presents. Community Here at The Neuro Foundation we aim to link families and professionals together. We coordinate activities, from hosting our own awareness events, to information days, catering to both adults and children. We have an ever growing online presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, an informative website, as well as a specialist website for under 18 s. The
