Clinical Trial Summary

Background:

-Plexiform neurofibromas in patients with NF1 are a significant cause of morbidity but little is known about the natural history of these lesions.

Objectives:

- The purpose of this study is to monitor the natural history of plexiform neurofibromas and to evaluate the usefulness of volumetric MRI tumor measurements in this disease.

- Other goals of the study are to provide a body of normative data on the growth rate of plexiform neurofibromas and to establish a tissue repository and pathology review center to allow future studies of the pathogenesis of neurofibromas and clinical trials of potential therapeutic agents.

Design

- This study is coordinated by Dr. Bruce Korf, and was initiated when he was at the Partners Center for Human Genetics, Boston, MA.
