LINE-1 retrotransposition in human embryonic stem cells.

abstract：:Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common inherited cancer predisposition syndrome. The NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, is hypothesized to function as a tumor suppressor and nearly all NF1 patients develop benign peripheral nerve tumors. These neurofibromas presumably arise from NF1 inactivation in S100(+)Schwann ce...
