الوصف: Fetal antigen 1 (FA1) is a 26-32 kDa glycoprotein containing six epidermal growth factor-like repeats closely related to the delta/notch/serrate proteins in Drosophila. FA1 has been shown to be involved in cell differentiation in a juxtacrine/paracrine manner. As neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), also called von Recklinghausen disease, involves aberrant growth of tissues derived from the neural crest, the expression of FA1 was examined in neurofibroma skin biopsies and serum from patients with NF-1. FA1 was found in the spindle cells of all (n = 10) skin tumour specimens from adult NF-1 patients, whereas normal dermis was FA1 negative. In adults, the serum FA1 levels were significantly higher in NF-1 patients (n = 13) than in normal healthy controls (n = 177) (P = 0.037). In the group of children with NF-1 (n = 9), significantly higher serum FA1 levels were observed in those known to have complications with cerebral or spinal involvement (n = 4) (P = 0.014). The presence of FA1 in neurofibroma specimens and the elevated serum levels in patients with NF-1 suggests that FA1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of NF-1, perhaps acting as a growth promoting factor.
