Deletions on chromosome 22 in sporadic meningioma

Abstract excerpt

Meningiomas are the second most common group of primary central nervous system tumors in humans. Cytogenetic and molecular studies imply that genes involved in the primary development of meningioma reside on chromosome 22. The recently characterized neurofibromatosis type 2 gene (NF2) has been shown to be mutated in two cases of sporadic meningioma, suggesting that this is the chromosome 22 gene which is involved...
