abstract：:The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene located at 17q 11.2 contains 60 exons and spans 350 kb of genomic DNA. Mutation analysis has been hampered by the large size of the gene, the high rate of new mutations, a lack of mutational clustering and the presence of numerous homologous loci. Mutation detection methods base...
