Published in 2020 at "Gene"

DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2020.144658

Abstract: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by café-au-lait spots, intertriginous freckling, and multiple neurofibromas. Classically, it has been described that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may be a cardiovascular manifestation of neurofibromatosis 1, although… read more here.
