The NF Network’s stated mission is to promote scientific research, improve clinical care, provide outreach through education and awareness, and offer support to those affected by neurofibromatosis. The event description summarizes basic facts about neurofibromatosis: it is a genetic disorder that can cause tumors on nerves, it affects all races and sexes, it occurs in approximately one in 2,500 to 3,000 births, and it is not contagious. Roughly half of cases have a family history and the other half result from spontaneous mutation.
