📋Overview

Neurofibromatosis is a group of genetic disorders characterized by the growth of tumors along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. The term 'neurofibromatosis' commonly refers to two main types: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). These are distinct conditions with different genetic causes and clinical features. NF1 is more common and involves skin changes and nerve tumors, while NF2 primarily affects hearing and balance due to tumors on the auditory nerves.
