    Figure 1

    - Ten pedigree charts of families with NF1. The black symbols represent the affected individuals, and the open symbols represent the unaffected individuals. The circles and squares indicate females and males, respectively. The arrows identify the probands in the families. The second line represents the sequencing chromatograms of the NF1 variants. The upper panel in the chromatogram depicts the reference sequence. The lower panel represents the heterozygous mutated sequence.
