## 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 Recurrent deletions of chromosome fragments observed in neoplasms are thought to participate in tumor development through the inactivation of tumorβsuppressor genes. In gliomas, the most frequent deletions involve chromosome arms 9p, 10q, 17p, 19q and 22q. We have analysed deletions of
## 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
