Course description
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder characterized by diverse clinical manifestations, notably affecting the skin and nervous system. It is progressive in nature, yet the extent of its impact varies unpredictably, even among individuals within the same family. Effective management of NF1 primarily involves regular monitoring and addressing complications as they arise. Frontline child health professionals are in a prime position to recognize the common signs of NF1, facilitating early referral to specialist care for timely intervention and management of the condition.
