neurofibromatosis

Rare genetic disorder characterized by coffee-coloured spots or multiple soft skin swellings all over the body and by benign tumours of nerve sheaths (neurofibromas). It sometimes causes skeletal deformities. The gene responsible for the condition was discovered 1990 but there is still no cure (as of 2007).
