- W1782441258 abstract "Abstract : Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition which affects one in 3,000 children and is known mostly because it causes light-brown patches of skin pigment, called cafe-au-lait spots, but also tumors that grow along nerves, called neurofibroma. A second aspect of NF1 is that the majority of children with NF1 develop cognitive deficits. The disorder is caused by mutations in a gene neurofibromin. In normal individuals, neurofibromin regulates the activity of another protein, called Ras, which controls cell divisions. In NF1 patients, the faulty neurofibromin gene fails to regulate Ras, which then tells cells to divide without stopping. Fortunately, only rarely do these tumors progress into malignant tumors. In contrast to the well understood mechanisms by which mutant neurofibromin fails to regulate Ras and hence cell divisions, why and how mutant neurofibromin leads to very prevalent learning disabilities is not well understood. Although the severity can vary widely from patient to patient, the majority of children with NF1 (up to 70%) have cognitive deficits, mostly attention deficits and learning disabilities. The long-term goals of this research grant proposal are to determine the mechanisms by which neurofibromin regulates learning, and to identify new drugs capable to antagonize learning deficits in an NF1 animal model." @default.
