  • Neurofibromatosis gene
    Patent number: 6238861
    Abstract: The invention relates to the gene involved in the von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) disease process and to the identification, isolation and cloning of a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the gene. The invention further relates to the NF1 gene product and sequence and antibodies raised thereto. The invention also relates to methods of screening for NF1 and NF1 diagnosis, as well as conventional treatment and gene therapy utilizing recombinant technologies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 1993
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2001
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of Michigan
    Inventors: Francis S. Collins, Margaret R. Wallace, Douglas A. Marchuk, Lone B. Andersen, David H. Gutmann
  • Neurofibromatosis gene
    Patent number: 5859195
    Abstract: The entire coding region of the gene involved in von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) and a ubiquitously expressed large transcript (NF1LT) of the gene have been identified, cloned and sequenced. With the identification of the NF1 gene and its gene product, nucleic acid probes and antibodies raised to the gene product can be used in a variety of hybridization and immunological assays to screen for NF1 and detect it in its early stages. Conventional and gene therapies can also be developed to treat those afflicted with the disease.
