Minor lesion mutational spectrum of the entire NF1 gene does not explain its high mutability but points to a functional domain upstream of the GAP-related domain.
Heterogenous point mutations in the BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility gene occur in high frequency at the site of homonucleotide tracts, short repeats and methylatable CpG/CpNpG motifs.
Reduced neurofibromin content but normal GAP activity in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 caused by a five base pair duplication in exon 12b of the NF1 gene.
