NF2 wt Allele
Human NF2 wild type allele is located in the vicinity of 22p12.2 and is approximately 95 kb in length. This allele, which encodes merlin protein, plays a role in the mediation of protein localization, cytoskeletal conformation and ion transport. Mutations in this allele are a factor in the occurrence of neurofibromatosis type II, schwannomatosis and somatic meningioma. (NCI Thesaurus)
