Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: NF2-related Schwannomatosis (previously referred to as Neurofibromatosis Type 2, or NF2) is a genetic-associated disease resulting from mutations in the gene, NF2. NF2 encodes the Merlin protein, which acts as a tumor suppressor. Bilateral vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a hallmark of NF2. Although the exactly molecular mechanism mediating NF2-driven schwannomatosis is not fully understood, it is known...
