We retrospectively re‐evaluated the NF1 gene variants found in the period 2000–2019 and we studied for genotype/phenotype correlations of disease complications and neoplasms 34 variants, which were shared by at least two unrelated families (range 2–11) for a total 141 of probands and 21 relatives affected by Neurofibromatosis type I. Recurrent variants could be ascribed to the most common mutational mechanisms (C to T transition, microsatellite slippage, non‐homologous recombination). The gene discussed is NF1; the disease is neoplasm.
