| Abstract | Germline mutations in the SMARCB1 gene cause familial schwannomatosis, a condition characterized by the presence of multiple schwannomas, although mutations in SMARCB1 have also been associated with rhadboid tumor predisposition syndrome 1 (RTPS1). Both schwannomatosis and RTPS1 are autosomal dominant conditions that predispose individuals to develop distinct types of tumors. We clinically and genetically characterized two families with schwannomatosis associated with SMARCB1 mutations. Eight affected members of these families developed different numbers of schwannomas and/or meningiomas at distinct ages, evidence that meningiomas are variably expressed in this condition. We identified two germline mutations in SMARCB1 associated with the familial disease, c.233-1G>A and the novel c.207_208dupTA mutation, which both proved to affect the main SMARCB1 isoforms at the RNA level distinctly. Interestingly, the c.207_208dupTA mutation had no effect on the coding sequence, pre-mRNA splicing or the level of expression of the SMARCB1 isoform 2. Furthermore, SMARCB1 isoforms harboring a premature termination codon were largely eliminated via the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway. Our results highlight the importance of RNA-based studies to characterize SMARCB1 germline mutations in order to determine their impact on protein expression and gain further insight into the genetic basis of conditions associated with SMARCB1 mutations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
