What We Do
“Mom found NF Midwest, she calls them our life ring and for good reason, they saved us in more ways than they or anyone else could imagine. We were no longer alone. They sent us information, talked to us gave us a breath when everyone else seemed to have taken it away. Trust me when I say my NF is much easier with them in my corner. ”

Get Involved
“..we reminded ourselves to not get overwhelmed by the info and just to take it all in stride as much as we can. I think when it’s all new to you, it all sounds so scary. Which is why it was so nice to meet other families with happy kids and adults with NF. ”
-Sue
Learn
“I received both of your packets in the mail yesterday and I wanted to say THANK YOU! The NF packet provided me with so much information I cannot thank you enough. When we got his diagnosis in November we had never even heard of NF so this has all been a bit of a whirlwind for us. Thank you for providing me with the tools to pass along to his teacher and my family! ”

Natural History Study of Cutaneous Neurofibromas in People with NF1

Posted By Sarah Selogic | On January 18th, 2023

John Hopkins Medicine Center is currently conducting a study on those with neurofibromatosis type one (NF1) and cutaneous neurofibromas also known as cNF. Cutaneous neurofibromas are tumor like growths that can be painful, itchy and bothersome to those who have them. Many with NF1 will develop at least one growth and very little is known about how or why they develop. This study will allow doctors to study how cNF develop, grow and change over time. This information can lead to break through treatments that could possibly provide ways to prevent and treat cNF in the future.
