NEW STUDY: Social and Behavioral Health in NF1

January 27, 2014

Researchers in the Washington University NF Center are currently recruiting both adults and children with NF1 to better understand the social and behavioral problems sometimes experienced by individuals with NF1. Recent studies have suggested that people with NF1 often have features seen in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. To better understand this possible connection, Dr. John Constantino and his colleagues have initiated a detailed study as an initial step towards uncovering the potential genetic causes.
