A genetic study of type 2 neurofibromatosis in the United Kingdom. I. Prevalence, mutation rate, fitness, and confirmation of maternal transmission effect on severity.

TL;DR: In this article, a clinical and genetic study of type 2 neurofibromatosis (NF2) has been carried out in the United Kingdom and the results show that there are two types of NF2, one with later onset and bilateral vestibular schwannomas as the only usual feature and the other with earlier onset and multiple other tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant transformation and new primary tumours after therapeutic radiation for benign disease: substantial risks in certain tumour prone syndromes

TL;DR: It is indicated that much more caution is warranted regarding the use of radiation treatment for benign tumours in childhood and in tumour prone conditions such as the neurofibromatoses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of clinical diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis 2

TL;DR: None of the existing sets of criteria for neurofibromatosis 2 are adequate at initial assessment for diagnosing people who present without bilateral vestibular schwannomas as having NF2, particularly people with a negative family history of NF2.
