NF2, or Neurofibromatosis type 2, is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of noncancerous tumors called schwannomas on the nerves. These tumors primarily affect the auditory nerves, leading to hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance issues. NF2 is caused by mutations in the NF2 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth. Individuals with NF2 may also develop other types of tumors, such as meningiomas and ependymomas. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a person only needs one copy of the mutated gene from a parent to be affected. Early diagnosis and management are essential for improving quality of life.
