Background: Chromoanagenesis is an umbrella term used to describe catastrophic "all at once" cellular events leading to the chaotic reconstruction of chromosomes. It is characterized by numerous rearrangements involving a small number of chromosomes/loci, copy number gains in combination with deletions, reconstruction of chromosomal fragments with improper order/orientation, and preserved heterozygosity in copy number neutral regions. Chromoanagesis is frequently described in association with cancer; however, it has also been described in the germline.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) microdeletion syndrome accounts for 5 to 11% of individuals with NF-1. The aim of our study was to characterize a large cohort of individuals with NF-1 microdeletion syndrome and expand its natural history. We conducted a retrospective chart review from 1994 to 2024 of individuals with NF-1 microdeletion syndrome followed at two large Neurofibromatosis Clinics.
