Popis:	Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1; OMIM #162200) is the commonest multi-systemic neurocutaneous tumour-predisposition disorder. It has an age-related complete penetrance but a highly variable inter- and intra-familial expressivity. This article summarizes the clinical features and molecular characteristics of 832 clinically or molecularly confirmed NF1 patients from 697 unrelated families recruited from a single centre in Hong Kong diagnosed during the 16 years period from Jan 2005 to Jan 2021. In this study, we have estimated the incidences of clinical features, reported on the molecular findings and explored new genotype-phenotype correlations.
