A low level of oxygen in the mass and insufficient
neuroectoderm development cause a low neuron content.

In classical NF-1, skeletal defects occur as a result of abnormalities of the
neuroectoderm and mesoderm.

During embryogenesis the
neuroectoderm divides to give rise to neuroepithelium which further divides into neuroblast, the spongioblast and the primitive ependymocytes.
The earlier growing of the primitive mesoderm than the
neuroectoderm results in a relative shortening of the spinal cord and more rapid growth of vertebral column and duramater (Vettivel, 1991).
In mammals, each adrenal gland is composed by two distinct steroidogenic structures: the cortex, whose embryological origin is the mesoderm and the medulla with embryological origin from the
neuroectoderm. Each part of adrenal gland has different cell types: cells producing sexual steroid hormones, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are present in the cortex, and chromaffin cells, which are producers of catecholamine and neuropeptides are present in medullar region (Hincu et al., 2006; Kempna and Fluck, 2008; Chang et al., 2011; Parker et al., 2011; Quinn et al., 2013; Qiu et al., 2013).

IP is a rare genodermatosis characterized by abnormalities of the tissues and organs derived from the ectoderm and
neuroectoderm. It is a type of ectodermal dysplasia that involves the skin, and sometimes other tissues.
