X-linked hydrocephalus is caused by mutations in the gene for neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM). In this report, we describe identification of a mutation in an isolated case of hydrocephalus with adducted thumbs. Tracing the origin of the mutation within the family showed a degree of somatic
Neurofibromatosiis type 2 (NF2) is a monogenic dominantly inherited disease that predisposes t o the development of tumors of the nervous system, particularly meningiomas and schwannomas. The gene which, when altered, causes NF2, is localized on chromosome 22 and has recently been identified. The NF
