Differential rates of germline heterozygote and mosaic variants in NF2 may show varying propensity for meiotic or mitotic mutation.

Abstract excerpt

NF2-related schwannomatosis is an autosomal dominant tumour predisposition condition that causes multiple benign tumours of the nervous system, especially schwannomas. This results from germline pathogenic variants in the NF2 gene, which are most commonly de novo NF2 nonsense variants. Over half of these de novo variants occur at just six CpG dinucleotides. In this study, we show that the six NF2 CpG nonsense...
