DESCRIPTION: Funding is requested to support the next meeting of the NNFF International Consortium for the Molecular Biology of NF1 and NF2 to be held June 7-10, 1998 at Aspen, Colorado. International research conferences on neurofibromatosis have been held annually or biannually since 1985 and have spawned key collaborations on the mapping and cloning of the genes for NF1 and NF2, as well as studies of pathogenesis and experimental therapeutics. The conference will have six platform sessions, chaired by experts in the field. Each session will include two invited talks. Three other talks in each session will be selected from submitted abstracts. One talk in each session will be from a young investigator. In addition, there will be two poster sessions. The platform sessions will cover a clinical overview of the neurofibromatoses, molecular genetics of NF1 and NF2, cell and developmental biology of NF1 and NF2, and experimental therapeutics. These conferences have a superb track record of bringing together clinical and laboratory researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, including genetics, neuroscience, cancer biology, cell and developmental biology, as well as clinical medicine. The genes for NF1 and NF2 have been implicated not only in these disorders, but also in other types of malignancy. Knowledge gained from studies of the neurofibromatoses therefore will also contribute to our understanding of other medical problems, including learning disabilities and cancer; and will enhance our understanding of the regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation. This proposed meeting will provide an opportunity for both formal and informal scientific discussion between junior and senior investigators that will continue a tradition of open discussion and collaboration on the important topic.

描述：要求提供资金以支持NNFF的下一次会议 国际NF 1和NF 2分子生物学联盟将举行 1998年6月7日至10日在科罗拉多的白杨。 国际研究会议 自1985年以来，神经纤维瘤病每年或每两年举行一次， 在NF 1基因的定位和克隆方面产生了关键的合作 和NF 2，以及发病机制和实验治疗学的研究。 会议将举行六次平台会议，由 领域 每场会议将包括两个特邀演讲。 其他三个会谈在 每场会议将从提交的摘要中选出。 一人一讲 将由一位年轻的调查员主持。 此外，还将有两名 海报会议。 平台会议将涵盖以下临床概述： 神经纤维瘤病、NF 1和NF 2的分子遗传学、细胞和 NF 1和NF 2的发育生物学和实验治疗学。 这些 会议有一个极好的记录，汇集临床和 来自不同学科的实验室研究人员，包括 遗传学、神经科学、癌症生物学、细胞和发育生物学， 以及临床医学。 NF 1和NF 2的基因与 不仅在这些疾病中，而且在其他类型的恶性肿瘤中。 因此，从神经纤维瘤病的研究中获得的知识也将 有助于我们理解其他医学问题，包括 学习障碍和癌症;并将加强我们对 调节细胞分化和增殖。 本次会议建议 将为正式和非正式的科学研究提供机会， 初级和高级调查员之间的讨论将继续进行， 就重要议题进行公开讨论和合作的传统。
