NF2 alteration in mesothelioma
25 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
The NF2 tumor suppressor gene is a frequent somatically mutated gene in mesothelioma, with 30%–40% mesotheliomas showing NF2 inactivation. NF2 encodes merlin, a member of the ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM) family of proteins that regulate cytoskeleton and cell signaling. Recent genome analysis revealed that NF2 alteration may be a late event in mesothelioma development, suggesting that NF2 mutation confers a...
