Neurofibromin
The NF1 gene ecodes a protein involved in signal transduction. It is a negative regulator of the intracellular ras pathway. Mutations cause autosomal dominant disorder such as neurofibromatosis type 1, Watson syndrome, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. The latter is also seen with somatic mutations.
