00:01 So what's NF1? What used to be called peripheral neurofibromatosis because a lot of the manifestations happen out in the periphery. 00:09 That's really not true. Patients can have central nervous system manifestations and peripheral nervous system manifestations, but I like that because it reminds me to look in the peripheral nervous system, and that patients will have skin findings. 00:22 A gentleman von Recklinghausen, was one of the first to describe this condition. 00:26 And so you may see it in the literature in textbooks called von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen disease. 00:34 It is common. 00:35 It's actually the most common neurologic genetic condition, right behind cystic fibrosis. 00:41 It's present in about one in 3000 individuals or occurs in about one in 3000 live births. 00:48 It is genetic. 00:49 And you're going to remember this condition as a genetic condition that is autosomal dominant. 00:54 That's results from a mutation in the NF1 gene. 00:57 We're gonna think about that NF1 gene that lives on Chromosome 17. 01:03 So what is Chromosome 17? Well, here's a good example of it. 01:06 This is a representation of the chromosome 17. 01:10 There's some neat genes on this chromosome that you don't have to know, but I think they're pretty neat. 01:15 The gene ASPA for Canavan disease is on chromosome 17. 01:21 The TP53 gene, which is the most commonly mutated gene and all of cancer lives on chromosome 17. 01:27 The NF1 GENE, 17q11. 01:30 That's the location, that's the home, that's the address of the NF1 gene on chromosome 17, which I want you to remember. 01:38 PMP 22 gene, as well as the GFAP gene for Alexander's disease. 01:42 This is an important chromosome and the NF1 gene is an important gene to remember.
The lecture Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Introduction by Roy Strowd, MD is from the course CNS Tumors.
Which of the following genes is also found on chromosome 17 along with the NF1 gene?

Very clear review of NF-1. It's a lot better than the other lecture.
