Cancer-independent somatic mutation of the wild-type NF1 allele in normal tissues in neurofibromatosis type 1 Nature Genetics - Histologically normal tissues of individuals with a germline NF1 mutation exhibited multiple second NF1 hits, unrelated to their tumors, that conferred a selective advantage.

Crucial findings, a must read for all those interested in tumour suppressor genes 🧬 Simple but impactful 👊

Glad to see this study in 4th-year Med Stud at @upcite.bsky.social : gender-equitable self-perceptions (opposing women underestimating their abilities by the past). Happy to have contributed as a one of the 130 included evaluators to this experiment 😀
