title: Identification and characterization of the gene for neurofibromatosis type 1.
abstract: Elucidation of the partial genomic structure and DNA sequence of the gene responsible for neurofibromatosis type 1, and discovery of clues to its function, have led to new opportunities not only for understanding this particular disease process, but also for clarifying signalling pathways involved in cellular growth and differentiation.
