Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the NF2 gene. Patients carrying NF2 mutations are predisposed to cerebral and spinal tumors with bilateral vestibular schwannomas as the hallmark. Using single strand conformation polymorphism and temperature gradient gel electrophoresis analysis, we have screened 87 unrelated NF2 patients for mutations in the NF2 gene. In...
