Neurofibromatosis 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 affects all races and both sexes and is estimated at about one in every 2,500 to 3,000 births in the United States. The NF Network notes that the neurofibromatoses affect more than 120,000 Americans and that approximately half of cases are due to inherited family history while the other half result from spontaneous mutation.
