Most healthcare specialities are just one degree of separation from someone with NF1.

The signs of neurofibromatosis (NF1) often appear in childhood. Manifestations are many and varied and differ from person to person in when and how they present, and in their severity. To diagnose NF1 doctors use specific criteria which involves identifying two or more specific features of the condition. 

Access our interactive body map to learn the signs of neurofibromatosis, how NF1 can affect a person and the many different healthcare specialties involved in providing care. By hovering over the yellow information icons you can also learn which specific features doctors look out for to diagnose NF1.
