| - | Mutations to the neurofibromin protein are implicated in the progression of Neurofibromatosis type 1. This condition drives several forms of human cancers by inactivating the Ras suppression effects of NF, allowing Ras to behave as an oncogene. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects 1 in 3,000 people, and the NF gene itself has the highest mutation rate of any known human gene, adding to its prevalence. | + | Mutations to the neurofibromin protein are implicated in the progression of Neurofibromatosis type 1.
