    The 26 year old was mentally handicapped amd living in a residential home. A large abdominal schwannoma was found when she presented with acute abdominal pain. On MRI, she was found to have bilateral vestibular schwannomas and thus satisfied the diagnostic criteria for NF2..
    The chromosome 22 translocation breakpoint was 6 Mb centromeric to the NF2 gene and was defined by a single breakpoint spanning cosmid. The likely mechanism of disease is that a proportion of Schwann cells have one NF2 allele acting as a functional null by virtue of NF2 being translocated to the X chromosome and aberrant inactivation (100%) of the X;autosome in the tumor tissue.
