Alterations in the <i>SMARCB1 </i>(<i>INI1</i>) tumor suppressor gene in familial schwannomatosis
16 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Schwannomatosis is a third major form of neurofibromatosis that has recently been linked to mutations in the SMARCB1 (hSnf5/INI1) tumor suppressor gene. We analyzed the coding region of SMARCB1 by direct sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in genomic DNA from 19 schwannomatosis kindreds. Microsatellite markers in the SMARCB1 region were developed to determine loss of...
