New mutation?: If neither parent carries a mutation for NF (neurofibromatosis), then the affected child is a new mutation. Each future child has a very rare risk of having a separate new mutation causing NF. Realize that every child in the world has a rare chance of getting a new mutation causing NF. No worries... unless one's geneticist feels there is a reason to worry. If so, the geneticist can evaluate more.
