Abstract excerpt
Meningiomas frequently show mutational inactivation of the neurofibromatosis type 2 tumor suppressor gene (NF2 gene). In a previous study, mutations were preferentially observed in the fibroblastic and transitional subtypes (75%), whereas the meningothelial variant was significantly less affected (25%). To study a potential role of the NF2 gene on the transcriptional level, we have analyzed NF2 transcripts in 67...
