Description
Karoline Doser and co-authors measure thinking skills in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 across Denmark. The genetic condition is known for body signs and for learning problems, but adult cognition was barely described. In this nationwide study, one hundred three adults with the condition took a full test battery alongside matched peers.
Overall test based cognition differed clearly between groups. Adults with the condition showed moderate to severe weakness in intelligence, visual memory, quick recall of layouts, and sustained attention. Some executive skills also lagged. Other skills, including reaction time, motor speed, planning, and multitasking, matched peers. The authors read this as a selective profile, not a general decline.
