Abstract

Nerve sheath tumors arising in the context of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) include benign tumors such as cutaneous, diffuse and plexiform neurofibromas; atypical neurofibromas or atypical neurofibromatosis neoplasms of uncertain biological potential (ANNUBP); and the aggressive soft tissue sarcoma, the malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) [...].

Keywords: NF1; genomics; mouse models; nerve sheath tumors.
