Neurofibromatosis, or NF, is described by the organizer as a genetic disorder of the nervous system that can cause tumors to form on nerves anywhere in the body. The condition is progressive, affects all races and sexes, and is estimated to occur in about one in every 2,500 to 3,000 births in the United States. The NF Network states its mission is to find treatments and a cure by promoting scientific research, improving clinical care, and offering hope and support to those affected.
