About 5% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) bear constitutional microdeletions that encompass NF1 (neurofibromin 1) and neighboring genes. These patients are characterized by the development of a high number of dermal neurofibromas (dNFs), mental retardation, and an increased risk of developing a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). Additionally, 10% of somatic second hits identified in dNFs are caused by deletions involving the NF1 gene. To detect constitutional and somatic deletions, we developed a probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for interrogating the copy number status of 11 loci distributed along a 2.8-Mb region around the NF1 gene.
