Overview

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most common single gene disorder in humans, occurring in about 30 to 40 in 100,000 births worldwide.[1]

Older paternal age may increase the chances for de novo mutations in NF1 gene.[2][3][4]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of neurofibromatosis type 1 is approximately 33.33 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • The incidence of neurofibromatosis type 1 is approximately 14-26 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[5][6]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of neurofibromatosis is approximately 33.33 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[7][8]
  • Prevalence can can vary from one country to another, beign 104.1 per 100,000 individuals in Israel to 12.8 per 100,000 individuals in Russia.[7][8]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Neurofibromatosis type 1decreases life expectancy in approximately 15-20 years from a normal person.[9][10]

Of the nearly 6.75 million deaths in the study period, 632 had a diagnosis of NF1, yet for nearly three-fourths of them the underlying cause was not coded as neurofibromatosis.[10]

  • In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
  • The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Age

  • The median age of diagnosis for neurofibromatosis type 1 is usually around 20 years old, although it can range from 3 months to 60 years old.[5]
  • Since its a hereditary disorder, patients of all age groups may develop neurofibromatosis type 1 symptoms.
  • Prevalence of neurofibromatosis has been found to be increased in individuals born from parents with advanced age.[5]
  • The mean age of mothers who give to birth of a child with neurofibromatosis type 1 is 30 years , while the paternal age is 33.[5]

Race

ethnicity.n.[7][11][12][13]

  • There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
  • [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].

Gender

  • [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
  • [Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.

Region

  • The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
  • [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].

Developed Countries

Developing Countries

Many countries lack a proper electronic patient record, so many times, researcher have to rely on death certificates and non-population-based cohorts to estimate risks.[7][14]

Our linkage studies showed that linked markers/haplotypes show the same result as careful clinical examination in familial cases of NF1, although contradictory results were obtained in two families where linkage data showed the NF1 risk haplotype in a healthy child of an affected parent. One explanation may be that the children were affected but were still at a presymptomatic stage. This would be exceptional, as all our affected cases (reported separately) had developed café au lait macules by the age of 5 years (96% of all patients), and similar observations have been made in earlier reports.[5][15] Another explanation would be that even though the affected parents in both families fulfilled the NIH diagnostic criteria for NF1 (in the first family CFS and freckles, and in the second family neurofibromas and Lisch nodules), they both have another type of NF which is not linked to the NF1 gene. A third explanation would be mosaicism in a parent with NF1 in whom some of the germ cells do not carry the NF1 mutation. A fourth explanation would be non-penetrance of theNF1 mutation in the children in question, which has previously been reported in only three cases, a 50 year old woman who had an affected brother, son, and grandson,[5][16] a 45 year old man with an affected mother and daughter,[5][16] and a subject with an affected father and two affected daughters.[5][17] Although non-paternity is not probable, one should exclude it with other markers. The finding of possible non-penetrance in the two families in this series will be finally answered only after the families' NF1mutation has been found.

_CausesOne of the potential etiologies for non-familial Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is increasing parental age. We sought to evaluate recent evidence for parental age effects in NF1 in a large study. Individuals with NF1 and a comparison group from the U.S. general population born between 1994 and 2012 were ascertained from the NF1 Patient Registry Initiative (NPRI) and the National Center for Vital Statistics, respectively.[18][7]

Sporadic neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) occurs in the absence of a family history of the disease and usually results from a new mutation in the germ cell of one of the parents, most commonly the father.[3][7]

50% of cases of neurofibromatosis type 1 are familial (inherited) and the remainder arise from a de novo NF1 mutation.[7][19]
