Hou Publishes Neurofibromatosis Study
Dec 09, 2022
Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) have a higher risk for and are more vulnerable to socioemotional difficulties. Though, there is little known about exactly how socioemotional functioning changes throughout a lifespan and the things that predict such changes.
Yang Hou, Ph.D., was part of a group studying such effects. Their findings indicated that individualized patient care and consideration for the socioeconomic background of a child should be uniquely met. Though ultimately, the results suggest further longitudinal study is needed.
