Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a common, autosomal dominant, monogenetic neurocutaneous disorder. It is characterized by café au lait spots, axillary and inguinal freckling, Lisch nodules, optic pathway gliomas, neurofibromas, and distinctive bony abnormalities. Also associated with this condition are other central nervous system tumors, scoliosis, hypertension, vascular abnormalities, and cognitive issues such as learning disabilities and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.

Legius syndrome is autosomal dominant and caused by mutations in the SPRED1 gene. Clinical manifestations include multiple cafe-au-lait spots, axillary/ inguinal freckling and a degree of macrocephaly, without the non-pigmentary signs of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Learning disabilities, developmental delay and ADHD are also known.
