Since it is known that approximately 1 in 500 people in the general population will develop a sporadic schwannoma and there are no reports of the occurrence of schwannoma in 22q11.2DS, we investigated whether whole-gene deletion of LZTR1 occurs in schwannomatosis and assessed the risk of schwannoma in 22q11.2DS. Methods: We assessed the genetic testing results for LZTR1-associated schwannomatosis and the clinical phenotypes of patients with 22q11.2DS. Results: There were no reports of schwannoma in over 1,500 patients with 22q11.2DS. In addition, no patients meeting clinical diagnostic criteria for schwannomatosis had a whole-gene deletion in LZTR1. Only 1 patient in 110 with an apparently sporadic vestibular schwannoma had a constitutional whole-gene deletion of LZTR1. Conclusion: People with a large 22q11.2 deletion may have a reduced risk of developing a schwannoma compared to the general population. cc by (c) Evans et al., 2021 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Tumors Genètica Tumors Genetics Typical 22q11.2 deletion syndrome appears to confer a reduced risk of schwannoma info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
