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 schwannomas. However, only limited regions in the SCH coding region were examined for mutations. We have extended these studies...
