Now in its third edition, Neurofibromatosis has been extensively rewritten by a group of leading neurofibromatosis (NF) researchers. It summarizes the current state of knowledge and details significant advances in the basic science and clinical care of patients with NF1 and NF2. Areas of particular emphasis include aspects of natural history, variability, pathology, molecular biology, and cellular biology that give a deeper understanding of the mechanisms responsible for these diseases. The book is a definitive, comprehensive review of the history, heterogeneity, pathogenesis, genetics, and management of NF1 and NF2.
Praise for the second edition:
"For anyone embarking on scientific and clinical research of neurofibromatosis, the Riccardi book, particularly in view of its exhaustive bibliography, is a must." -- Journal of Medical Genetics
"This is a comprehensive review of an extremely complex and pleomorphic disease. Once again [Riccardi] has provided a review of the literature with the wealth of his own personal experience into a powerful treatise on this complicated subject... This book is very easy to read." -- James Smirniotopoulos, Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology
