    T Tucker
    Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
    Neurology 65:205-11. 2005
    ..The authors conducted a study to determine whether people with NF1 who have benign neurofibromas of various kinds are at greater risk of developing MPNSTs than patients with NF1 who lack these benign tumors...

    Clin Genet 72:524-7. 2007
    ..5 +/- 5.8, p = 0.019). Our findings suggest that dental caries occur more frequently than expected among people with NF1 and that individuals with this condition may require a modified dental care program...

    T Tucker
    Department of Medical Genetics, Medical Genetics Research Unit, Children s and Women s Hospital, 4500 Oak Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada
    J Med Genet 46:81-5. 2009
    ..In order to characterise the growth of plexiform neurofibromas better, we performed serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in NF1 patients with such tumours...
  5. ncbi Bone health and fracture rate in individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)
    T Tucker
    Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
    J Med Genet 46:259-65. 2009
    ..Patients with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) are shorter than expected and often have low bone mineral density (BMD), but the pathogenesis of these bony problems is poorly understood...

    Tracy Tucker
    Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
    J Neurosci Res 89:1451-60. 2011
