Are you Age 40-70 with NF1? This Bone Study Needs You!

Posted by Dr. Kim Hunter-Schaedle in NF1 , NF Research , Children's Tumor Foundation , bone abnormalities

The neurofibromatosis clinical team at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is conducting a research survey to find out if people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) break their bones more often and have different types of broken bones (fractures) than those who do not have NF1. Adults 40-70 years old with NF1 and their spouses and/or siblings who do not have NF1 may be eligible to participate. The information learned from this research study may indirectly benefit other patients with NF1 in the future by providing a better understanding of NF1-associated bone disease.  

 

This study consists of completing a survey that is estimated to take a total of 20 minutes and contains questions about participants’ fracture history, physical activity, and diet.
