Abstract

NF is a relatively common genetic disorder which predisposes to a variety of clinical manifestations involving multiple body systems. NF poses important questions to researchers involved with developmental neurobiology, nerve regeneration and growth, the mechanism of malignant degeneration, and the use of molecular techniques to identify genetic disorders. It is hoped that this conference will bring together researchers who have developed new techniques in these areas and will encourage them to apply these techniques to the problem of NF.
