Clinical-epidemiological research of neurofibromatosis type I in Republic Bashkortostan
Abstract
The aim of the present investigation is to study Neurofibromatosis type 1 prevalence in Republic of Bashkortostan. The disease is distributed irregularly through various districts of the Republic, on average, NF1 occurrence in Bashkortostan is 4,7 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. The disease was revealed in all ethnic groups of the studied population. In women the disease was slightly more frequent than in men (1,2:1). THis study shows the variability of the NF1 phenotype. In 55,0% of NF1 cases only one person in the family tends to suffer from the disease.
