Experience:
Established first interdisciplinary clinic devoted to Neurofibromatosis in the world. The clinic has been a model for over 50 other NF clinics in the U.S., Europe and South America. The clinic had one of the largest NF populations in the world.
Contributed to descriptions of numerous clinical phenomena in NF which expanded the spectrum of the disorder, including learning disability, progressive dural ectasia and adult onset meningocoele, congenital megacolon, congenital melanocytic nevi, benign brainstem tumors, xanthogranuloma, clustering of severe complications in NF kindreds, familial transmission of segmental NF, post-zygotic mutation in twins with NF, unidentified bright objects (UBO’s) on MRI, large deletion phenotype in NF-1, recurrent sporadic mutations in NF-1, and post-radiation malignancy in NF-2.
Organized first genetic counseling program for NF, which includeed individual and family counseling, crisis intervention, outreach and support groups.
Designated by New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities as only NF outreach and Crisis intervention center in New York State.
Designated as participating center in National NF Foundation pilot project on clinical database for NF; participating center in first multi-center clinical trials for the treatment of NF-1.
