Abstract excerpt
Family studies and tumor analyses have combined to indicate that neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2), a disorder characterized by multiple benign tumors of the nervous system, and sporadic non-inherited forms of the same tumor types are both caused by inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene located in 22q1...
