## Abstract The __NF2__ gene is a putative tumorβsuppressor gene that, when it is altered in the germline, causes neurofibromatosis type 2, a tumorβsusceptibility disease that mainly predisposes to schwannomas and meningiomas. The recent isolation of the __NF2__ gene on chromosome 22 allows the ide
## Abstract Deletions of chromosome 22 have been identified in 3 types of childhood primary brain tumor: meningiomas, rhabdoid or atypical teratoid tumors (ATT) and ependymomas. This implicates the involvement of tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 22 in the genesis of these rare tumors. One such
