Neurofibromatosis type-1 is a neuroectodermic genetic condition, where different types of mutations in NF1 gene have been described. Its locus is located at chromosome-17, thousand ALIGN="JUSTIFY">of genes are mapping, and some of them are found in very near regions of the gene of this disease. Medical literature about the topic was reviewed; a case presenting the exact clinical characteristics of a microdeletion syndrome of NF1 gene is reported, which constitutes a new case to the Cuban medical science.

Keywords : NEUROFIBROMATOSES [genetics]; NEUROFIBROMATOSES [diagnosis]; NEUROFIBROMATOSES [complications].
