Comprehensive RNA Analysis of the NF1 Gene in Classically Affected NF1 Affected Individuals Meeting NIH Criteria has High Sensitivity and Mutation Negative Testing is Reassuring in Isolated Cases With Pigmentary Features Only.
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.
