Link between Dupuytren's and Neurofibromatosis

Hello, has anyone seen any information on a possible link between Dupuytren's and Neurofibromatosis? My nephew has neurofibromatosis and I am recently diagnosed with Dupuytren's. I'm curious as there is some discussion that Dup's has a genetic predisposition.

Re: Link between Dupuytren's and Neurofibromatosis

I have both(not severe) but have never seen a link, My NF came from my mums side and my dd came from my dads side.
I have the birth marks and scoliosis, my daughter has cafe au lait marks and my niece has a tumoour behind the eyes we found out about it 15 years ago.
My dd was diagnosed 18 months ago leading to surgery on my pinkie 14 months ago, so far I am the only one suffering although I have warned my bro and sister to expect it soon as they are both in their 50s. I am 44 and have had lumps in my hands for 20 years.

Good luck
