Trait: Neurofibromatosis
Forms of the trait:
A The dominant form is neurofibmmatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein
neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous
tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness Some tumors can convert to a
cancerous form
A The recessive form is a pormal protein-in other words, no neurofibromatosis
A typical pedigree for a famity that caries neurofibromatosis is shown below Note that carriers are not
indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis
allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
