Abstract excerpt
Schwannomas are benign tumors of cranial, spinal, and other nerve sheaths that develop sporadically or are inherited as part of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The NF2 gene (SCH) on chromosome 22 has recently been identified and shown to be inactivated by mutation and allele loss in some schwanno...
