Background
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a multisystemic genetic disorder characterized by NF1 gene mutations. The well-described manifestations of NF1 are primarily derived from European populations.
Objective
To evaluate the phenotypic characteristics of Chinese patients with NF1.
Methods
This cross-sectional, multicenter study involved patients with NF1 from Chinese and U.S. populations. Clinical data were obtained from NF1 clinics and patient-reported outcome assessments.
Findings
1313 patients with Chinese NF1 were included. We found that Chinese patients were diagnosed later in life and exhibited a lower prevalence of spinal neurofibromas and fractures but a higher rate of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors as compared to U.S. patients. Four distinct NF1 subtypes were identified: severe neural, cutaneous, hereditary, and mild. Significant correlations were observed between freckles and cutaneous neurofibromas and between bone lesions and pseudarthrosis. Cutaneous manifestations were correlated with systemic manifestations, and the risk of developing plexiform neurofibromas was inversely proportional to the number of cutaneous neurofibromas and freckles.
Limitations
The use of self-report data may introduce subjectivity and recall bias.
Conclusion
This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of clinical phenotypes in Chinese patients with NF1. The identification of distinct NF1 subtypes, phenotypic correlations, and ethnic differences supports more personalized management strategies for NF1 patients.

Background
Although cognitive and behavioral factors significantly impact dermatological outcomes, psychobehavioral interventions remain inaccessible and underused.
Objective
To develop and test a psychobehavioral intervention (MindMySkin) delivered via a mobile application.
Methods
Needs assessment, evidence-based module development, and formative user-centered evaluation were conducted in participants with eczema, psoriasis, or chronic urticaria. The developed prototype modules were further iteratively refined following additional qualitative and quantitative feedback.
Results
27 participants contributed to 24 1:1 interviews and 231 responses between June 2023 and November 2024. Modules were highly rated (median score 4 or 5/5) for utility, interest, understandability, and recommendation for inclusion, underscoring strong acceptability. Participants valued the informative content and conversational tone but highlighted skepticism toward reflection exercises and oversimplification of patient difficulties. Design challenges include balancing time demanding but effective modules with shorter more appealing content. The final intervention comprised 74 modules addressing illness coherence, symptom management, functional impairment, emotional impairment, and the patient–physician relationship.
Limitations
No participant reviewed the full program and modules were assigned, limiting insights on voluntary adherence.
Conclusion
This study establishes the unmet need for psychotherapeutic support and demonstrates the acceptability, appropriateness, and usability of a self-administered psychobehavioral intervention in improving dermatological care.
