Frequency of SMARCB1 mutations in familial and sporadic schwannomatosis.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations of the SMARCB1 gene have been implicated in several human tumour predisposing syndromes. They have recently been identified as an underlying cause of the tumour suppressor syndrome schwannomatosis. There is a much higher rate of mutation detection in familial disease than in sporadic disease.
