An article caught my attention today on the BBC News website about Neurofibromatosis Type 1. It was particularly interesting because many of the family members affected by the condition weren't even aware that they had mild forms of the disease. The condition is caused by mutations on chromosome 17 and leads to growth of multiple tumours from nerve cells.
Medical Protection Society MPS Magazine.
Seems as though alot of the cases in the back of the magazine are to do with situations where doctors have failed to properly examine patients and have missed 'red flags' or signs as a result.
