'''Neurofibromatosis''' is a genetic conditions, also known as '''von Recklinghausen's disease'''.  It is abbreviated as '''NF'''.


It comes in two flavours:
It comes in several flavours:
#Neurofibromatosis type 1 - NF1 (peripheral).
#Neurofibromatosis type 1 - NF1 (peripheral).
#Neurofibromatosis type 2 - NF2 (central).
