Genotypes and clinical intervention of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 associated dystrophic scoliosis.

Objective: To analyze the genotypic characteristics of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated dystrophic scoliosis and to summarize the outcomes of the surgical treatment of these patients.
