The UCSF Comprehensive Neurofibromatosis Center cares for people of all ages with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN), and other forms of schwannomatosis. Our pediatric and adult specialists work as one team, so care stays continuous as children grow into adults. We are the only center in California designated by the Children's Tumor Foundation as a Comprehensive NF1 and Schwannomatosis Center.
