  • Title: Are Lisch nodules an ocular marker of the neurofibromatosis gene in otherwise unaffected family members?
    Author: Toonstra J, Dandrieu MR, Ippel PF, Delleman JW, Rupert PH, Huitema HB.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1987; 174(5):232-5. PubMed ID: 3108044.
    Abstract:
    A male patient with classical neurofibromatosis is reported. Examination of the other family members revealed 2 patients with solitary cutaneous neurofibromas and 2 with one or more Lisch nodules without other cutaneous or systemic signs of neurofibromatosis. This suggests that Lisch nodules can be a marker for the neurofibromatosis gene in otherwise unaffected family members.
