2008
Archives of Ophthalmology
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first genetic, clinical, and angiographic characterization of retinal abnormalities in NF2. ...
The occurrence of epiretinal membranes and retinal microaneurysms was highly correlated, but retinal abnormalities were not significantly correlated with cataracts (present in 39 of 47 patients [83%]). ...
Patients with uncommon types of mutations (in-frame deletions and large deletions) were excluded from the logistic regression analysis owing to insufficient data. ...

Comparative genomic hybridisation using a proximal 17p BAC/PAC array detects rearrangements responsible for four genomic disorders
2004
Journal of Medical Genetics
Results: Array-CGH detected the dosage imbalances resulting from either deletion or duplication in all the samples examined. ...
While 80-90% or more of the rearrangements resulting in each disorder are recurrent, several non-recurrent deletions or duplications of varying sizes within proximal 17p also have been characterised using ...

Genomic Landscape of High-grade Meningiomas
2017
Journal of Neurological Surgery. Part B: Skull Base: an interdisciplinary approach
To determine the factors that promote the development and evolution of these tumors, we analyzed the genomes of 134 high-grade meningiomas and compared this information with data from 595 previously published ...
In contrast to the largely stable copy number alterations, mutations were strikingly heterogeneous across tumor recurrences, likely due to extensive geographic heterogeneity in the primary tumor. ...

In vivo modeling of patient genetic heterogeneity identifies new ways to target cholangiocarcinoma
2022
Cancer Research
Here we model the interactions between rare mutations with more common driver genes and combine in silico analysis of patient data with highly multiplexed in vivo CRISPR-spCas9 screens to perform a functional ...

Genomic sequencing of meningiomas identifies oncogenic SMO and AKT1 mutations
2013
Nature Genetics
The tumor suppressor NF2 is disrupted in approximately half of meningiomas 1 but the complete spectrum of genetic changes remains undefined. ...
We confirmed focal NF2 inactivation in 43% of tumors and found alterations in epigenetic modifiers among an additional 8% of tumors. ...

Clonal architecture in mesothelioma is prognostic and shapes the tumour microenvironment
2021
Nature Communications
Very late somatic alteration of NF2/22q occurred in one patient 12 years after surgery. Clonal architecture and evolutionary clusters dictate MPM inflammation and immune evasion. ...
These results reveal potentially drugable evolutionary bottlenecking in MPM, and an impact of clonal architecture on shaping the immune landscape, with potential to dictate the clinical response to immune ...
Clonal NF2 deletion was present in the cell line MED85 and this was associated with constitutive nuclear translocation of YAP, compared with MED96 which harboured wild-type NF2 (Fig. 2d) . ...

Integrated genomic analyses of de novo pathways underlying atypical meningiomas
2017
Nature Communications
These tumours harbour increased H3K27me3 signal and a hypermethylated phenotype, mainly occupying the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) binding sites in human embryonic stem cells, thereby phenocopying ...
Here, we show that the majority of primary (de novo) atypical meningiomas display loss of NF2, which co-occurs either with genomic instability or recurrent SMARCB1 mutations. ...
