Schwannomatosis is characterized by multiple peripheral and cranial nerve schwannomas that occur in the absence of bilateral 8th cranial nerve schwannomas. The latter is the main diagnostic criterion of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), which is a related but distinct disorder. The genetic factors und
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by development of bilateral acoustic neurinomas and increased incidence nf meningiomas. Frequent losses of I allele of chromosome 22 in neurinomas and meningiomas has indicated that the gene responsible for NF2 functions
## Abstract Recurrent deletions of chromosome fragments observed in neoplasms are thought to participate in tumor development through the inactivation of tumor‐suppressor genes. In gliomas, the most frequent deletions involve chromosome arms 9p, 10q, 17p, 19q and 22q. We have analysed deletions of
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder predisposing to multiple neoplastic lesions with the hallmark of schwannoma arising at the eighth cranial nerve. NF2 shows a distinct clinical variability, with a mild and a severe form of the disease. The NF2 gene is mutated in consti
