This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program provides $656,513 in funding to Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio to identify germline (inherited) modifiers of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) tumors. The research aims to expand the study population with NF1-related plexiform neurofibromas and/or optic pathway gliomas, test candidate modifier genes in mouse and zebrafish models, and evaluate the potential for developing genomic risk assessment tools for NF1 disease severity. This multi-year grant, with an award date of September 10, 2024 and planned completion by August 31, 2029, involves sub-awards to Miami University and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago to contribute specialized expertise in genetics, animal modeling, and pediatric neurooncology research. The overarching goal is to improve risk stratification and identify therapeutic targets for individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1.
