Missense mutations of the tumor suppressor Neurofibromin 2 (NF2/Merlin/schwannomin) result in sporadic to frequent occurrences of tumorigenesis in multiple organs. However, the underlying pathogenicity of NF2-related tumorigenesis remains mostly unknown.

Activation of MAPK signalling results in resistance to saracatinib (AZD0530) in ovarian cancer [PDF]
SRC tyrosine kinase is frequently overexpressed and activated in late-stage, poor prognosis ovarian tumours, and preclinical studies have supported the use of targeted SRC inhibitors in the treatment of this disease.

Analysis of mutable exons of neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) gene in Iranian patients [PDF]
Background: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in a tumor suppressor protein called neurofibromin. The NF1 gene consists of 60 exons and due to the large size of the NF1 gene, variation in mutations and ...

Somatic mutation landscape of a meningioma and its pulmonary metastasis
Background Extracranial metastasis (ENM) of meningiomas is extremely rare, and typically occurs several years after a primary tumor is diagnosed. However, the genetic changes underlying ENM events have not yet been investigated.

Gyrification, cortical and subcortical morphometry in neurofibromatosis type 1: an uneven profile of developmental abnormalities. [PDF]
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a monogenic disorder associated with cognitive impairments. In order to understand how mutations in the NF1 gene impact brain structure it is essential to characterize in detail the brain structural ...

Neurofibromin is a novel regulator of Ras-induced reactive oxygen species production in mice and humans [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) predisposes individuals to early and debilitating cardiovascular disease. Loss of function mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor gene, which encodes the protein neurofibromin, leads to accelerated p21(Ras) activity and ...
