Differential NF2 Gene Status in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannomas and its Prognostic Impact on Tumour Growth Patterns

Abstract The great majority of sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are due to the inactivation of the NF2 gene. In this study, we found age-dependent differences in the clinical parameters of sporadic VSs. Young patients were characterized by progressive tumour behaviours, including earlier onset...
