Natural History of Plexiform in Neurofibromatosis Type I
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: -Plexiform neurofibromas in patients with NF1 are a significant cause of morbidity but little is known about the natural history of these lesions. Objectives: * The purpose of this study is to monitor the natural history of plexiform neurofibromas and to evaluate the usefulness of volumetric MRI tumor measurements in this disease. * Other goals of the study are to provide a body of normative data on the growth rate of plexiform neurofibromas and to establish a tissue repository and pathology review center to allow future studies of the pathogenesis of neurofibromas and clinical trials of potential therapeutic agents. Design \- This study is coordinated by Dr. Bruce Korf, and was initiated when he was at the Partners Center for Human Genetics, Boston, MA.
